WF vs OV Prediction, Dream11 Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report and Injury Update – Super Smash 2020-21, Match 22

Match Details:

The 22nd match of the Super Smash 2010-21 will be played between the Wellington Firebirds and the Otago Volts at the Basin Reserve, Wellington.

This match is scheduled to start at 07:10 AM IST (01:40 AM GMT) (02:40 PM Local Time) and will be streamed live on FanCode.

Preview:

Wellington Firebirds will take on Otago Volts at their home ground, Basin Reserve. Their unbeaten run was halted in the last game by Canterbury but they would like to get back on winning ways. The last time these two sides met, Wellington won by 5 wickets.

Otago Volts, on the other hand, haven’t had a good season. They are placed fifth with only two wins from six games. In all fairness, their season is over until they pull off a miracle and win all four of their remaining league matches. They would want to play fearless cricket and maybe try and upset the rhythm of a couple of other teams along the way.
