Hello and Welcome to our preview for Otago Volts vs Northern Knights match. We are covering OTG vs NK Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the Super Smash 2018-19 match. The match is to be played at the Molyneux Park, Alexandra.

Otago, the current table leaders, take on the defending champions Northern Knights. This will be the 7^th match of the tournament. Otago has won both their matches so far and walk-in undefeated. Northern Knights began with a crushing win but lost against the Stags in the last game.

Otago pulled off a thriller in their last match against Wellington. Opener Neil Broom (34) and Anaru Kitchen (52) were leading run-getters and with a few late contributions, they reached 167/7. After conceding a 107-run opening partnership, C Viljoen brought the Volts back in the game with a stunning spell of 4/23. Defending 11 runs in the last over, Nathan Smith gave away eight in the first four but two wickets in last two balls saw Otago winning by 1 run.

Despite a scintillating fifty from the opener Seifert, Northern Knights mustered only 156/8 in their first innings. Daniel Flynn (27) and Anton Devcich (23) were the supporting batsmen. Their bowlers reduced Stags to 41/4 but Tom Bruce played a legendary knock. Kuggeleijn and Santner were the picks of the bowlers in the five-wicket loss.
