To being the T20 day and the week in New Zealand, we have a Women’s Super Smash T20 game between Central Hinds and Otago Sparks. A few hours later, the men’s franchises will take part at the same ground in New Plymouth. In the Men’s Super Smash 2020/21, we have Central Districts Stags in the middle of the points table with 4 wins in 6 games.
They’re playing in Match 19 and they’re up against Otago Volts who haven’t had the best of results so far, one spot behind Stags on the points table with 2 wins in 5 games. They have a game in hand and can catch up but they haven’t had much success against Stags in recent encounters between the two. Keep reading for our complete BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) fantasy preview of the CS vs OV game…

Stats that matter

- Last 4 games this season – all won batting second.
Central Stags
The 31-year old George Worker is in the form of his life with 300+ runs in 6 games including a fifty and a century so far. He’s contributed in every game and has bowled as well, so is a definite pick in our CS vs OV fantasy team today. Apart from him, there’s Doug Bracewell who has 122 runs and 7 wickets in 6 games this season, someone who is the best pick for your fantasy captain or vice-captain today, given his international experience too.
It was only recently that Ross Taylor joined the side and while he’s got no big contributions so far, scoring 10 in his opening game, there’s no doubt about his experience and what he can do when on song. With the ball, there’s Blair Tickner who recently made it to the Kiwi national set up because of his wicket-taking ability in the shortest format and he’s proved that again with 9 scalps in just 6 games so far this year.
Otago Volts
Coming in from Netherlands to settle in New Zealand, Michael Rippon has been brilliant since migrating and here too, he’s got 7 wickets in 5 games. He’s a must for your BatBall11 (Code “READ123“) fantasy team especially since he can put in handy scores with the bat as well. Mitchell McClenaghan is another very experience player in the side who has 6 wickets in 5 games, and can play a few big shots if needed too.

The side is being led by 26-year old pacer Jacob Duffy and he won’t be a popular pick since he’s got just 2 scalps in 5 games but recently, he was heavily among the wickets which gave him a dream T20I debut as well, where he bagged 4/33 against Pakistan. With 121 runs in 5 games, we think Hamish Rutherford should be picked because his recent scores in the FC season showed a lot of form and ability.
