On paper Otago Volts looks far better than Lions as Trumpcard player Brendon McCullum is in a tremendous form since the beginning of the tournament.However, as we all know, T20 format is unpredictable when seeing through statistics eyes. Lions are absolutely capable of destroying Otago hopes, similarly Otago have momentum with them that they can carry forward in this game. Great thing about Otago is that they are unbeaten from 15 games! That's Incredible!
Lions batting line up is actually pretty strong with the presence of skipper Alviro Petersen, Neil McKenzie and Quinton de Kock. Young talented cricketer de Kock is the key for Lions to score a big total on board. This guy has all the ability to turn the things in favor of Lions. Skipper Peterson and McKenzie are not as hard hitters we can expect but they are consisted players who can build partnerships that can help them while chasing or even in the middle overs to keep the things rolling.
On the other hand, Otago is filled with a bunch of hard hitter. Ryan ten Doeschate, Hamish Rutherford and Brendon McCullum have all scored big in this tournament and have all the ability to handle the situations in crucial moments. Otago have scored a high percentage of runs in boundaries that makes Otago to perfectly fit in this format of the game.
