Canterbury Kings |Two losses in a row have put a question mark on the form of Cole McConchie’s side. While the side had looked in good form at the start of the season they have played poorly in the last two games and shall need to get out of it soon. They lost to the Wellington Firebirds by 7 wickets due to poor batting efforts and need to gather back steam. McConchie would want his side to take confidence from their impressive record against the Volts whom they had defeated earlier in the season as well. A win in this game would give them entry into the elimination stage and that’s what the skipper would aim for. Chad Bowes and Ken McClure are back in form and this is great news for the side as they played poorly in earlier games. The side would be hoping to see good contributions from the middle order where the likes of McConchie, Jack Boyle, and Darryl Mitchell haven’t contributed much in the last few games. The side draws its strength from the long tail as Cam Fletcher, Todd Astle and Leo Carter are good hitters of the ball. With McConchie and Matt Henry doing well with the new ball the bowling attack looks in good shape. They would need good support from Ed Nuttall, Mitchell, and Todd Astle in the middle overs to restricting the Volts to a small total. Otago Volts |Jacob Duffy’s team is in real trouble. With four back to back losses the side has surrendered all its chances of making it to the next round. The side seems to be lacking confidence at the moment as this was on display with the way they batted and bowled in the last game against the Wellington Firebirds to lose it by 4 wickets. Most players are throwing away their wickets hurting the side’s cause. Having lost their previous game against the Kings by a big margin the side would have to come up with an impressive show in this game to win here. Hamish Rutherford and Neil Broom will have a very important role to play at the top as other batsmen have struggled to make runs in most of the games. The side would like to see runs from Josh Finnie, Nick Kelly, and Dale Phillips in the middle order as they threw away their wickets in the last game. With Anaru Kitchen and Michael Rippon down the order, they have good firepower and need to make good use of it in this game. With the ball, Mitchell McClenaghan and Nathan Smith have to get early breakthroughs for the side in the game. Rippon stood out with his performance in the last game but the side would need better efforts from Duffy, Finnie, and Anaru Kitchen here.
Canterbury Kings shall win this game Canterbury Kings are one win away from securing a berth for themselves in the elimination round of the Super Smash 2020-21. They come here with two consecutive losses and need to regain their form in this important stage of the season. For the Otago Volts, it would be a different battle as the side has looked completely out of form for most parts of the season. They need to win this one by a big margin to restore their pride and also keep that glimmer of hope for a place in the next round if few other games go their way. Canterbury Kings have better strength in batting and bowling departments and considering Otago Volts’ form at the moment the Kings would start favorites here.
