TEAMS PREVIEW
Otago Volts Preview
Since their 42-run win over Auckland Aces in their opening game, Otago Volts haven’t won a match this season. They are coming off a huge 82-run loss to Central Stags where they were bundled out for just 154 while chasing a target of 237.
Otago’s biggest issue this season has been the non-performance of their batting unit. Thorn Parkes (155 runs in 3 innings at an average of 51.66) has been their best batter so far. Barring him, there is only Dale Phillips (118 runs in 3 innings at 39.33), who has shown some consistency.
The bowling has been slightly better, with fast bowler Matthew Bacon (6 wickets in 3 innings at 22.33) leading the charge. Travis Muller, who delivered a fantastic spell of 3-25 in Otago’s previous game, also seems to have found his rhythm.
Otago Volts Predicted Playing XI:
Hamish Rutherford, Luke Georgeson, Dean Foxcroft (c), Dale Phillips, Thorn Parkes, Llew Johnson, Max Chu (wk), Ben Lockrose, Travis Muller, Jacob Duffy, Matthew Bacon

Canterbury Kings Preview
Just like Otago, Canterbury Kings too haven’t won a game after ing a win in their season opener in Wellington. In their last game, Wellington took their revenge by thrashing them by 55 runs at the Basin Reserve.
Canterbury are now languishing at the bottom of the table with just 5 points and a NRR of -0.026.
Canterbury’s batting has been led by Mitchell Hay, who has 185 runs in 4 innings at an average of 46.25. Following him closely is opener Chad Bowes, who has accumulated 143 runs in 4 innings at 35.75.
Another batter you should watch out for is Michael Rippon (129 runs in 4 innings at 43).
William O’Rourke has been the team’s standout bowler this year, taking 6 wickets in 4 innings at 29.50. Off-spinner Cole McConchie (5 wickets in 4 innings at 20.60) has been quite impressive as well. He might not have taken a truckload of wickets, but he has managed to keep things tight in the middle.
Canterbury Kings Predicted Playing XI:
Chad Bowes, Matthew Boyle, Rhys Mariu, Mitchell Hay (wk), Cole McConchie (c), Michael Rippon, Bevon Jacobs, Zakary Foulkes, Angus McKenzie, Michael Rae, William O’Rourke

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The pitch at Queen's Park tends to be a balanced one. Like most surfaces in New Zealand, seamers will get good bounce and movement here. Batters will need to be watchful of the new ball. Once they get their eye in, they will be able to play their strokes more freely.
The weather in Invercargill during the game will be mostly cloudy.
OV vs CANT Pitch Report
In the only match played at Queen's Park this season, Otago posted 302-6 on the board after being asked to bat first by Auckland. They went on to win the game by 42 runs. The team batting first in this match should look to set a target of around 280-300 runs.
Toss: To Bowl
The only match played at Queen's Park in Invercargill saw the team batting first secure an easy win. However, the overcast conditions in this match might tempt the toss-winning side to field first here.
OV vs CANT
Winning Prediction
Otago Volts have dominated Canterbury Kings in recent years in the Ford Trophy, beating them four times in their last five encounters. Both teams are struggling currently and will be desperate to secure a win here to keep themselves alive in the competition. Otago might not have found momentum yet, but we feel they are the better-balanced side of the two and will dominate this contest.
Back Otago Volts as the winners of this match.
