Super Smash 2021-22, Otago Volts vs Northern Brave: Probable XIs, match prediction, weather forecast, pitch report and live streaming details

The Otago Volts will lock horns with Northern Brave in the sixth match of the Men’s Super Smash 2021-22. University Oval in Dunedin will host this clash.

The Volts, led by Hamish Rutherford, haven’t made a great start to the tournament. In their first match, Central Districts defeated them by five wickets at the same venue. Thereafter, the Volts' second encounter against Northern Brave on December 3 was washed off due to rain.

After electing to field first, their bowlers did a reasonable job in the first 13 overs. The Brave struggled their way to 106 for the loss of six wickets. Left-arm wrist spinner Michael Rippon picked up three wickets. From there on, the heavens opened up and play didn’t start.

The Brave, led by Jeet Raval, started their campaign with a washed-out match. The skipper top-scored for them against the Volts, having scored 33 runs off 18 balls with four fours and two sixes. Joe Carter and Henry Cooper also got decent starts.
