However, the side won’t be massively deterred with them having played the lowest number of encounters with a spree of meaningful displays seeing them make massive strides in the points tally.
And the side will be looking to garner momentum from their bygone encounter, a match which saw them rake up their first win. What especially impressive was the manner it came about in, one which saw them rip apart and cut shot Central Stags to canter their way to a 34 run win on the day after making 164 while batting first.

OTG Vs CTB Dream11 Wicket-Keeper
Not much to choose between the two wicket-keepers but what saw us move in with Cam Fletcher was his higher batting spot. He came up with 16 runs the last time as well, showing glimpses of what he’s capable of to make him our pick for the impending encounter.
OTG Vs CTB Dream11 Batsmen
We spoke so highly about Otago Volts’ batting unit, meaning it was only befitting of us o rope in a magnitude of players from the side for this one. We begin with nick Kelly for the side after he contributed with 54 runs for his side the last time around, runs which were instrumental in seeing the side making a mockery of a tricky target.
Opener Hamish Rutherford got 29 runs in the same encounter to see him being brought in as well by us for the day while from the opposition, we have decided to indulge ourselves in the services of Jack Boyle for this one.
OTG Vs CTB Dream11 All-Rounders
The 22 runs for him the last time around see us make Dean Foxcroft the first name to be inducted in our Dream 11 outing along with Michael Rippon. Rippon got two wickets in that outing, both wickets which came up at crucial intervals to curtail the opposition from piling on the runs and curtailing them within an achievable score for his side.
Elsewhere, the opposition will find representation in Andrew Ellis who op scored with 35 vital runs in the lower middle-order, ones which made all the difference at the end of the day. Collie McConchie did well with the 28 runs as well on the day to see him find representation in our side as well for this one.
OTG Vs CTB Dream11 Bowling Order
Cramping the batsmen for room with deliveries which frisked and misbehaved, Jacob Duffy and Nathan Smith incorporated their ability to get deviation on the ball in unison to make for a fearsome partnership They both came up with the two wickets apiece from their side to see us get them in for the day while form Canterbury Kings we have decided to divulge in Blake Coburn after his 4-17 left the opposition is distress and disrupted their entire run chase.
Captain And Vice-Captain
Kelly will captain our side out for the day while Rutherford is our vice-captain.
