Our Prediction: Otago — Correct


Pre-match analysis published on 15 January 2026:

Otago are marginal favourites in our model.

No significant toss bias at University Oval, Dunedin - it's been evenly split between batting first and chasing.

Otago's powerplay prowess (8.01 RPO) should set up a strong platform. With the new ball, Otago have been excellent - an economy of 7.91 in powerplays.

Between overs 7-15, Otago tick along nicely at 8.28 RPO, setting up explosive finishes.

Form and conditions align for Otago in this matchup. An off-day from Otago could open the door for Wellington.

The prediction: Otago to win at 61% probability.
