OTG vs AUK Dream11 Match Preview: Even after winning their
previous game by 23 runs against Canterbury, Otago still will be
finding it really tough to book a spot in the knockout stage.
Otago will be up against the top-placed Auckland side in their
last match of the league stages. Auckland lost their last game
against Northern Knights by 63 runs, but still they are looking
very good to directly qualify for the finals of the tournament.
Auckland are at the top of the points table with a tally of 28
points and Otago are placed on the fourth position with 19
points. Auckland will surely enter this game as the favourites
but Otago can never be considered as an easy opposition as this will be a must-win game for them.
