Wellington Firebirds Betting Analysis
Wellington Firebirds’ Tim Robinson has been piling on the runs recently in the Super Smash. His last two innings have seen him pass 50, eventually accumulating 146 runs across those two knocks. If Wellington are to give themselves the best chance against a formidable Volts side, they’ll need Robinson at his best again. Back him to finish as the Firebirds’ top bowler for a third straight game.
Otago Volts Betting Analysis
Otago Volts’ opening pair of Dale Phillips and Jamal Todd got them off to a strong start in what was ultimately a successful run chase against Central Stags last time out. The duo are both extremely aggressive and can accrue runs at a very fast speed, targeting the boundary off the powerplay. Expect both Phillips and Todd to come out of the blocks fast here and the Volts warrant backing to record over 20.5 runs for the first wicket.
Wellington Firebirds vs Otago Volts Expert Prediction
These two teams are at opposite ends of the Super Smash table for a reason. Otago Volts have been playing better cricket and are showing more of a cutting edge than Wellington Firebirds. They look a strong all-round unit capable of potentially breaking their ten-year-plus Super Smash trophy drought and are not expected to slow down. Back the Volts to defeat Wellington.
