Auckland Aces Vs Otago Volts Prediction 1/2/21
On the surface this match seems like a dead rubber. But in fact, it’s a match that could be billed as the Wooden Spoon fixture.
A win for the Volts ensures that Auckland finish bottom of the pile. While a win for the Aces takes them level on points with the Volts, and keeps the race to avoid bottom spot going until the final round of fixtures.
In their last match (On Saturday) against Canterbury Kings, the Volts did make a respectable 162 with the bat, but in all honesty it was never going to be enough.
Prior to that they only made 137/9, so it was an improvement of sorts – if nothing else.
Throughout the season the Volts lack of runs has been their main problem though.
For the Aces, their form has slightly picked up of late. They ran the in form Northern Knights close in their last outing, taking the match right down to the final ball.
Prior to that, the Aces managed their only win. They beat Central Stags by 17 runs, with a swashbuckling 73 (in 34 balls) from Mark Chapman helping them to a total of 199/7. An amount beyond the Stags.
The Aces enter this match in slightly better form, so they are my pick to win this one – and in the process, taking the race to avoid the wooden spoon down to the final weekend.
