Nick Kelly’s side defeated the Northern Knights in the last game by 45 runs. It was a much-needed win for the team in poor form. They play at home and have a good record against the Otago Volts. Kelly would like to see a strong show from his players in this game as they look to keep hopes alive for the next round.
Gareth Severin and Nick Greenwood did well in the last game, and the team will expect a good start from the pair. Kelly will be confident after his match-winning hundred in the last game and look to build partnerships with Troy Johnson and Callum McLachlan. The side will need a good show from Nathan Smith and Logan van Beek.

Dean Foxcroft’s side had something to cheer about in the last game. It was a good show from the team against the Central Stags, where they won by 65 runs. They sit at the bottom of the points table with only two wins in the season. Foxcroft would look to lead from the front and win here to improve their position on the points table.
Jacob Cumming and Luke Georgeson must deliver a strong start, as Wellington has a strong bowling attack. Foxcroft has to anchor the innings in the middle order and build partnerships with Dale Phillips and Thorn Parkes. The lower middle-order must do well, and the side will expect runs from Llew Johnson and Max Chu.
Jacob Duffy must bring his experience to play and bowl a good spell with the new ball, along with Andrew Hazeldine. Travis Muller must do well in the middle overs with Luke Georgeson, as the Firebirds will come hard at them. The side will also need a good show in the ing role from Ben Lockrose and Foxcroft.

The skies over Wellington would be cloudy, and batting conditions would be challenging. We expect to see a lot of movement on the surface, and fast bowlers would enjoy bowling on this surface. The side batting first would be happy with a score of 280 runs on this wicket.
The pitch at Basin Reserve, Wellington, offers early assistance to the fast bowlers, but it is undoubtedly one of the best surfaces to bat on. This ground's dimensions are larger than others in New Zealand; hence, batsmen have to rely on ones and twos to score big here. Spinners have also done well at this venue in the past.
As we have seen in the past, there is assistance for the bowlers early in the game. Batting conditions become better as the wicket tends to flatten out in the game's latter stages. The side winning the toss here wouldn’t have much hesitation in of opting to bowl first.
The Otago Volts have struggled with the bat this season. They sit at the bottom of the points table, and it is a must-win game for the side. The side will need a good show from their top order to win. The Firebirds have a psychological edge over the Otago Volts and play at home, giving them an edge.
