AUCK vs OV Match Prediction & Analysis
Auckland Aces will face Otago Volts at home. They won their last match against Wellington, marking their 2nd win from 7 matches. Even with just two wins, the Aces find themselves at number 4.
They need to finish at number 3 to qualify for the Eliminator. The good news for the Aces is that 2 of their remaining 3 matches are at their home venue. Otago Volts will be up for a tough challenge.
Most of their key players are out of form and with the bowlers also struggling to find wickets, the Volts are under a lot of pressure. Jacob Duffy will need to step up and lead the bowling comeback for the visitors.
He will be up against Martin Guptill, Simon Keene, and Bevon Jacobs who have been in fine touch in recent games for the Aces. The middle-order holds the key to a big total for the visiting side. Glenn Phillips and Max Chu looked promising in the last outing and will be the ones to watch out for.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Auckland Aces Preview
Auckland Aces were exceptional in their recent win against Wellington Firebirds in the away game. Martin Guptill came into the side and scored a fiery 82 off 49 balls. His opening partner Simon Keene took things further with an 81 off 35 balls knock.
Though they’ve got just 2 wins from 7 matches so far, the Aces should be confident after their win. In their last outing at their home venue, Auckland successfully defended a 185-run total against Canterbury.
Bevon Jacobs and Martin Guptill each scored a fifty in that game. Jacobs is a key player in the middle order. The top order is packed with attacking batters while there is a lot of experience in the middle order Cam Fletcher and Sean Solia.
However, the middle and lower middle order hasn’t been very consistent for the Aces. That will be a major concern for the home team going ahead. If the top 3 batters are out cheaply, the Aces could be staring at a batting collapse.
There are many good options in the bowling attack with Danru Ferns, Ben Lister, and William ODonnell. However, Ben Lister wasn’t part of the XI in the last game but Simon Keene and Angus Oliver delivered crucial breakthroughs.
Auckland Aces Predicted Playing XI:
Simon Keene, Martin Guptill, Sean Solia (c), William O Donnell, Bevon Jacobs, Lachlan Stackpole, Jock McKenzie, Cam Fletcher (wk), Danru Ferns, Angus Olliver, Adithya Ashok

Otago Volts Preview
Otago Volts desperately need a win to get back to winning ways. They are likely to reach the Eliminator and they would like to carry the winning momentum into the knockout stage.
Dale Phillips needs to find his rhythm at the top of the batting order. While Max Chu and Glenn Phillips looked great in the recent outing, only a couple of batters couldn’t lead the side to a win.
They need others like Llew Johnson, Leo Carter, and skipper Luke Georgeson to also step up and deliver consistent performances. These 4 delivered some quality knocks against Northern Knights in a recent game while chasing a 213-run target as they lost by 8 runs.
There are many quality batters in the side and all they need is one inspired performance that includes a few good partnerships to set them on the right path.
In the bowling attack, Matthew Bacon and Jacob Duffy are the key bowlers. However, both have been wicketless in the last two outings. Ben Lackrose, Andrew Hazeldine, and skipper Georgeson are other wicket-taking options in this bowling attack.
Otago Volts Predicted Playing XI:
Dale Phillips, Jamal Todd, Glenn Phillips, Leo Carter, Llew Johnson, Max Chu (wk), Luke Georgeson (c), Ben Lockrose, Andrew Hazeldine, Jacob Duffy, Matthew Bacon

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It will be partly cloudy in Auckland with a high of 23 degrees Celsius. While it will be raining in Auckland throughout the week we don’t expect any rain on the match day.
AUCK vs OV Pitch Report
It is a balanced wicket where batters find some help in the first innings and the bowlers get the upper hand in the second. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 matches here is 159 runs. We reckon anything over 175-180 will be a match-winning score on this pitch.
Toss: To Bat
Teams batting first have won 8 of the last 10 T20 matches played at this venue in Auckland. Most of these have been comfortable wins. The hosts are in fine touch with the bat and will back themselves to set a winning total. The visitors aren’t in good shape to chase down a competitive score on this wicket. It will be in the interest of both sides to bat first.
AUCK vs OV
Winning Prediction
Auckland looked in great touch in their recent win. However, the visitors have a stronger overall squad with great batting depth. Auckland’s bowling attack is strong and if they have a good enough total on the board, we reckon they could comfortably defend it. Toss will play a key role with the team batting first having a huge edge in the game. Nevertheless, Otago Volts will start as favorites in our match prediction due to their squad strength and some good signs in the batting department.
