OV vs CK Dream11 prediction: Match preview

Of the last five encounters between the sides, Canterbury have won three and Otago, two in an alternating pattern. The most recent encounter between the sides was won by Canterbury and if the pattern repeats, it may well be Otago who win this time around. Otago will have the advantage going into this game, having already played and won their first match at the tournament on December 28. The Volts took on the Auckland Aces in Match 3, setting a total of 219 courtesy of Llew Johnson's 72 off 44 balls and M Renwick's 45 off 22 balls. 

The bowling unit was on point, with Matt Bacon taking 3 wickets for just 18 runs, and Anaru Kitchen, Jacob Duffy, Mitchell McClenaghan and Michael Rippon adding a wicket each. With three run-outs to his name, Dale Phillips also proved to be one of the most valuable players in the field. Canterbury, on the other hand, will come in fresh and hope for a winning start at the tournament.
