Otago Volts Volts vs Canterbury Kings Prediction & Betting Tips 2022

Otago Volts have been in red hot form in the tournament losing only one match out of the nine games they played so far. Dean Foxcroft has been consistent with the bat scoring 339 runs from eight innings with an average of 48.42 but other batters have struggled to score runs with such ease. Jake Gibson has been batting well since the last couple of games and he is the second highest run-scorer for the team with 190 runs from seven innings with an average of 27.14 and a strike rate of 147.28. While going up against a strong bowling outfit, the team will need their batters to step up to the situation.

Michael Rae and Matthew Bacon have been brilliant with the ball for the team. Rae has scalped 16 wickets with an economy of 7.72 for the team and an impressive strike rate of 8.9. Bacon has picked 10 wickets with an economy of 7.93. Ben Lockrose has also chipped in taking eight wickets at an economy of 7.22. Overall, the bowling unit of the team has been impressive but their batting needs work to be done going ahead into the tournament.

Chad Bowes and Leo Carter have been outstanding with the bat for the team scoring with consistency. Bowes has scored 290 runs from nine innings with an average of 41.42 and a strike rate of 155.91. Both of them have been scoring for the team but no other batters have crossed the 150-run mark. The team will need Ken McClure and their lower middle-order batters to fire in the upcoming games to earn success.

Bowling has been a strong suit for Canterbury with Angus McKenzie taking 11 wickets from seven innings with an economy of 6.77 and a strike rate of 11.2. Zakary Foulkes and William O’Rourke have scalped 10 wickets each in the tournament with an economy of 6.89 and 8.37 respectively. Further, four bowlers have an economy below seven whereas only Jake Gibson has been economical for Otago Volts. With the trio of bowlers constantly picking wickets, Canterbury might outplay the opposition and be victorious in the fixture.
