Otago vs Northern Districts Preview


Otago and Northern Districts are fighting it out for the Super Smash wooden spoon, with each having picked up just two wins from their nine matches. Otago are ahead thanks to picking up points from an abandoned match and their tie against Central Districts. Northern Districts have lost seven of their matches.

Head-to-Head


The teams have each won two of the last five matches between them, with one of the five matches being abandoned.

Otago Form


Otago ended a run of three wins in four with a thrilling tie against Central Districts. 

Otago scored 139/5 off their 20 overs, Dean Foxcroft top-scoring with 42 off 32 balls.

Otago restricted Central Districts to 139/8 off their 20 overs, with Jacob Duffy (2/14) the pick of the bowlers.

Otago Team News


There are no injury reports from the Otago squad.

Northern Districts Form


After breaking their losing streak with a win against Wellington, Northern Districts lost their next two games on the bounce. 

Their last match was against Auckland, who racked up 181/4 off their 20 overs, despite superb bowling from Tim Pringle (2/23).

Northern Districts were bowled out for 137 with one ball to spare. Katene Clarke top-scored with 32 off 27 balls.

Northern Districts Team News


Northern Districts have been inconsistent all season and might look to give some of their younger talent a chance to shine in a match that holds little value for either side.

Verdict

I am backing Otago to win. I am also backing Dean Foxcroft to top score for Otago.

Katene Clarke is a good bet to top score for the Northern Districts.
