OV vs WELL Match Prediction & Analysis
This will be team Otago’s final push to finish into the top 2 of the points table. Otago have been brilliant throughout the season and will look to finish it in a high by winning their last match of the group stages convincingly.
Wellington on the other hand will be playing for pride as they have already been eliminated from the competition. They will look to spoil the party by winning their final match of a rather forgettable season of the Ford Trophy.
