The Otago Volts, led by Max Chu won their first game against the Canterbury Kings, and the Volts won the exciting game by 10 runs. Skipper Max Chu displayed a brilliant batting performance in that game, but the last match against the Auckland Aces got abandoned due to heavy raining; Dean Foxcroft was brilliant with the ball and grabbed 4 wickets and restricted Auckland Aces within 106 runs. With one win from two games and a net run rate of +0.500, the Otago Volts are at the top position in the points table currently.

OV vs CS Weather And Pitch Report
Factors | Expected Condition |
---|---|
Weather | Partially Sunny |
Pitch | Batting Friendly |
Weather - According to AccuWeather, the weather will be nice with intervals of sunshine and clouds . The temperature will be in-between 21°C-8°C and there is only 2% chance of rain during the game.
Pitch Report- The pitch at Molyneux Park in Alexandra is good for batters. In the initial overs, the fast bowlers get help from the bounce and movement of the pitch, which makes it difficult for the batsmen to score runs. But as the ball gets older, the batsmen start settling on the pitch and are able to play great shots. Spinners, though, might not find much joy on this surface, so it’ll be all about the pacers doing the damage. The toss might not be an important factor here, but skipper winning the toss might prefer to bat first on this ground.
