Wellington vs Otago, Super Smash 2020-21
Wellington will take on Otago in the 22nd match of the Super Smash. The match will be played at the Basin Reserve and will get underway at 2:40 PM local time.
Wellington suffered their first loss of the tournament and went down to Canterbury by 4 wickets.
The batting that was doing so good in the tournament couldn't perform well in the last match. But that can happen in such a long tournament.
Finn Allen, Devon Conway, Tom Blundell, Jimmy Neesham, Michael Bracewell, Troy Johnson forms a very strong batting order.
In the bowling department, Hamish Bennett and Logan van Beek are two genuine bowlers. Both have been very good with the ball. Wellington heavily depends on their all rounders to get those remaining 12 overs and they’ve done a decent job so far in the tournament.
For Otago, so many of their batsmen are getting starts but have not converted them into big scores. Neil Broom, Nick Kelly, Anaru Kitchen batted well in the last game but failed to cross the 50 run mark. This has been the story of their tournament.
They do have a decent batting line up but they’ll need a big score to challenge Wellington as they have a very long batting line up.
Mitchell McClenaghan, Jacob Duffy, Michael Rippon, and Nathan Smith form a very good bowling attack but most of the time they’ve been short of runs.
Overall, Wellington is a much stronger team and are expected to win the next game.
