OV vs NK Team Previews

Otago Volts

The Otago Volts team played their last game in the competition against Central Districts. This day-night match was carried out at the same venue as this. The Otago team batted first in this game to score 139 runs with a loss of five wickets. The Central Districts team also scored 139 runs, albeit losing eight wickets in their chase. The Otago Volt's innings were built around their top order, who scored most of the runs for them. Batters such as Hamish Rutherford, Luke Georgeson, and the skipper Dean Foxcroft were all in good touch.

Despite some good contributions from their top order, the Otago Volts could not raise a big total. None of the batters apart from Dean Foxcroft could build a big innings. Foxcroft was the top-scorer with 42 runs from 32 balls, four fours, and one six. But the Otago bowlers pulled a coup by restricting the opposition bowling charge to get a tie in this game. The pick of the bowlers was Jacob Duffy. He returned with figures of 4-1-14-2. Jake Gibson also picked up two wickets but went for many runs. Other bowlers, such as Travis Muller, also did well.

OV vs NK Toss Prediction

As many as 23 domestic T20 games have been played at University Oval in Dunedin. The team batting first has won six games, while the team batting second has won 17. So, the skipper winning the toss will take advantage of better batting conditions by batting second in the game.

Pitch and Conditions

Although the University Oval ground primarily offers a batting-friendly surface, there will be some help to the bowlers from the track. This venue has traditionally been a low-scoring game. The faster bowlers will enjoy the condition, especially in the initial period of the game.

We are expecting overcast conditions during this game in Dunedin. There is also the possibility of getting showers during this match. The conditions during the game will be cold, and the relative humidity will likely be high. So, batting second will be the right idea as the D/L equation might come into the picture.

OV vs NK Betting Tips

This game is a dead rubber regarding qualification for the next round. Both these teams, Otago Volts, and Northern Knights, are currently lying in the last two positions in the points table and are out of contention for a place in the playoffs. The Otago Volts have suffered fewer defeats in the league stages than ND. Based on that, we expect Otago Volts to win this encounter.
