Otago Volts will lock horns with Wellington Firebirds in the 7th match of the Super Smash 2023 at the Molyneux Park in Alexandra on December 28. Otago Volts has played two matches so far where they are yet to win any and are placed fifth in the standing. Wellington Firebirds, on the other hand, has won one of their two games and is at the top of the table.
 
Otago Volts squared off against Canterbury in their last match where Otago Volts won the toss and elected to field. Canterbury started the innings and had scored two runs off three balls so far when rain interrupted the match. Due to excessive and persistent rain, the match could not be carried forward and it ended in a draw.
Wellington Firebirds had played against Otago Volts in their last encounter where Wellington Firebirds won the toss and elected to bat. They lost a wicket early but a sensational partnership for the second wicket not just brought them into the game but put them up ahead in the driving seat. With Tim Robinson probably playing the knock of the tournament scoring 139 off 64 balls, he helped his team post a mammoth total of 234 runs. Otago Volts started all guns blazing but they were under immense pressure of such a huge target which they could not fulfill and lost the game by 74 runs.

Pitch Report

The track at the Molyneux Park in Alexandra is quite helpful to batters in nature. With good seam and swing movement off the deck, pacers are expected to do well here. Batters, once settled can look to score big. Teams prefer to chase the total after winning the toss with the average first innings score being 160.

Player Picks

7
C

Tim Robinson WEF | BAT

In his very first match this season, Robinson absolutely smoked the bowlers around for fun. There is no need to look around for captaincy roles keeping his current form in mind.

7
C

Rachin Ravindra WEF | ALL

Ravindra has established himself as a terrific match-winner in the past few months. His abilities with the bat as well as the ball make him a perfect choice for leadership roles.

8.5

Devon Conway WEF | BAT

Conway is a quality batter top of the order who has been consistently scoring runs for more than a while now. He is a must-have for your fantasy team.

7

Peter Younghusband WEF | BAT

Peter had a good last match where he bowled his full quota of four overs. He picked up three wickets as well in these overs and could be an important pick for your team.

6

Ian McPeake WEF | BAT

Ian bowled beautifully in the last game. Although he proved to be a little expensive but managed to pick up three wickets in the process.

6.5

Jacob Gibson OV | BOWL

Gibson was the only batter to score a half-century from his team in the last game. He played a good knock of 56 runs and should be present in your team.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

8.5

Nick Greenwood

WEF | BAT

Greenwood did not have a good last game and can be ignored by your team for this coming match as well.

7.5

Muhammad Arslan Abbas

WEF | BAT

Abbas has not been in good form and he was sloppy in the last game as well. He should not find a place in your team.
