Otago Volts vs Auckland Aces match prediction

Otago Volts will face-off Auckland Aces in the elimination final of the 2019-20 Super Smash and the University Oval, in Dunedin this Friday.

We have finally reached the business end of the Super Smash with just a couple of games left including the final. Friday is promising to be a cracker of a day with Otago Volts and Auckland Aces locking horns for a place in the title clash against Wellington Firebirds this Sunday. Apart from the game, I can promise you a lot of money which you can unlock with a few easy steps. The task is simple. I have already assorted the best possible odds from the market, just invest your money at the right place, I guarantee you handsome returns by the end of the match.

Nick Kelly has maintained an average of 42.25 this season

Nick Kelly to be Otago’s top batsman @ 4.50Start Your Innings at LeoVegas!

When Dafabet is offering odds like 4.50, there’s no point in denying it, especially with the form Nick Kelly is in. This is one of the likeliest outcomes in the market and I will tell you how.

In the last five innings for the Volts, Kelly has been the top batter on three occasions and passed the fifty-run mark twice. His scores – 62, 9, 45, 27, 54, scoring at an average of almost 40, which is commendable as per any standard. Overall, he has played 10 matches in the Super Smash this season, scored 338 runs at an average of 42.25!

Even though Neil Broom has scored a few more runs than Kelly in the same time frame, the former has been inconsistent in the past few games and overall sports an average of 34.60. Other batsmen like Rutherford and Foxcroft have largely remained in the shadow of Nick Kelly. I have already placed this bet, take a deep breath and do the same.

Otago have the top two joint highest six hitters in their squad

Otago to hit more sixes @ 2.36Start Your Innings at LeoVegas!

Volts have been a frontrunner when it comes to big hitting, which is why I never gave a second thought before placing this bet. It gives us an opportunity to multiply our investment over two times, that’s certainly tempting.

Otago Volts have been outnumbered only once in their last five matches at a rate of almost six per match. On the flip side, the Aces have been relatively weaker having had the better of their foes in just three occasions in the past five matches. Interestingly, in the last five H2H matches, the Volts have always been the best side in terms of six hitting, having racked up 38 sixes (7.6 matches innings) against Aces’ 31 (6.2 per innings).

The Volts will boast of having the joint highest six hitters in their side in the likes of Neil Broom and Nick Kelly with the duo smashing 17 sixes each. Their tally this season is 69 in 10 matches, while the Aces have struck 61 times in as many games. With the Volts playing on their home turf, it is not a surprise which team is going to call the shots.

Ronnie Hira is the most successful bowler for Otago Volts against the Auckland Aces

Going with the trend is the need of the hour and Ronnie Hira can certainly bring us a lot of riches in the upcoming match. A whopping 3.75 is what Bet3655 is offering!

Even though the spinner started the season at a slow pace, he picked up his game massively in the last four matches, having scalped seven wickets and was the pick of bowlers on a couple of occasions. Ronnie featured in three away matches this season and managed to pick up 5 wickets, a point to be noted before Friday’s clash.

Overall, in this season, Hira has been then top bowler for his side having picked up 12 wickets in 10 matches at an average of 22.08. Historically, he has been the best bowler for the Aces against the Volts. In 16 H2H matches, Hira has piled up 18 wickets along with best figures of 3/17 (the best my any player against the Volts). There’s no denying that Hira is going to make life miserable for the Volts batsmen in the Friday fixture.
