Our Prediction: Otago โ€” Incorrect


Pre-match analysis published on 18 January 2026:

We're backing Otago in a match that could go either way.

The pitch at University Oval, Dunedin has played fairly, giving both approaches an equal shot.

The powerplay could be key - Otago's 8.01 RPO gives them early momentum.

Otago's middle-overs game is a strength - they build innings smartly at 8.28 RPO.

Otago squeeze hard at the death, conceding just 9.45 runs per over.

When you break down the matchups, Otago come out ahead more often than not. Northern Districts have the talent to win on their day, but the consistency isn't quite there.

The prediction: Otago to win at 63% probability.
