Super Smash 2021-22 | Otago Volts vs Canterbury Kings | Match 29 Preview, Predictions, Fantasy XI

On January 23, 2022, Otago Volts will lock horns with Canterbury Kings at University Oval in Dunedin. This is a dead rubber but Otago will play for their pride while Canterbury will play to gain confidence moving into the eliminator. Currently, Otago is in last place with just 6 points from 9 matches and will stay there irrespective of the result. Canterbury on the other hand is in the second spot with 24 points from nine matches.

They both previously met in the 13th match where Canterbury outplayed Otago to win the match by a margin of 36 runs. Canterbury is heading into this with a loss to the table-toppers while Otago has lost six matches on the trot coming into this.

Canterbury is unchanged from their previous game as they have confidence in their players. Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, and Matt Henry are the key players. 

On the other hand, Otago will give another opportunity to their players that played their last match. They are playing nearly after a week so the players will be fresh for this one. A 21-year fast bowler who initially played for Central Stags a couple of years ago, Jarrod McKay might feature in the game. Hamish Rutherford, Anaru Kitchen, and Neil Broom are the players to watch for.

Can Otago finish the campaign on a winning note or Canterbury dominate them yet again in the season? It should be a mouth-watering contest and cricket lovers will enjoy it.

AFG vs NED | The Dutch look to bounce back after failing to chase 223 in first ODI

The Netherlands, who had won two out of the four completed games of their Cricket World Cup 2023 Super League campaign, had yet another chance to add to that tally and show to the cricket world that they deserve to play the big guns regularly, when they faced Afghanistan in the first of the three-match ODI series at the West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha, Qatar. However, the men in orange failed to do so as they were not able to chase down even as modest a target as 223, getting all out at 186 only. It was the first time that an ODI game was played at that venue which Afghanistan is using as its home ground. Rashid Khan was the wrecker in chief with the ball for the team from the Hindukush valley. In batting, it was the knocks by skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi (73) and Rahmat Shah (70) that powered the afghan side to reach the total of 22 in its 50 overs. The Dutch started well, with the first wicket adding 32 in eight overs. The team would hope that Scott Edwards, who was going well having reached his second ODI fifty and career-best 68 before falling to Mujeeb Ur Rahman, shows his class in the second game as well. No other Netherlands batter was able to provide as much resistance to the spin of Afghanistan and hence the entire team fell for 186 even as skipper Pieter Seelaar tried the build up a rescue act with his lone hand of 32. The Dutch team is without its usual firepower of Max O’Dowd, Tom Cooper, Roelof van der Merwe and Logan van Beek and hence it would have to hope that the likes of Bas de Leede, Colin Ackermann, Philippe Boissevain and Musa Ahmed, who are the up and coming stars, would take much more responsibility in the next game.

BBL | Qualifier: Perth make easy work of Sixers, march to summit clash second year in a row

Led by a brilliant bowling attack and a blistering knock from opener Josh Inglis, Pert Scorchers reached the summit clash of Big Bash League 2021-22. They defeated Sydney Sixers in a repeat of the last season’s Qualifier where they were defeated by the Sixers. However, they were still able to make it to the final. Hence it would be interesting to see if it becomes a repeat even in the final as Sixers would now face the winner of the Knockout in the Challenger on January 26 in a bid to qualify for the final. In the Qualifier though, the Sixers were almost no match to the Scorchers who got off to a flyer with the bat after winning the toss and deciding to bat first at the Docklands Stadium in Melbourne. The opening pair of Kurtis Patterson and Inglis added 120 for the first wicket in the first 12 overs only. From there on 200 was looking like a sure shot possibility, but the Sixers pulled back a bit. While Patterson got out for 64, Inglis went on to make 79 and was helped by Mitchell Marsh’s 28 to propel the team to 189-3 at the end of the 20 overs. With the ball in the hand, the Scorchers bowlers became lethal and remove the first seven batters of the Sixers for a paltry score of 51 runs. The Sixers in fact might have become a matter of ridicule if not for the brilliant face-saving knock of 66 which came in only 29 balls by bowler Ben Dwarshuis. The left hardener partnered with fellow pace bowler Hayden Kerr and added 41 for the eight-wicket before going on to add another 42 with last man Steve O'Keefe. The Sixers innings eventually ended with the team score at 140 in the 20th over. Apart from Dwarshuis, Kerr and skipper Moises Henriques, no other batter from the team in pink was able to get into double figures. For Scorchers, Jhye Richardson, Ashton Agar, Jason Behrendorff and Andrew Tye picked two wickets each while one wicket ent to leg spinner Peter Hatzoglou and Sean Abbott got run out. Sixers will now wait for the winner of the Knockout between Sydney Thunder and Adelaide Strikers to face in the Challenger. The winner of the Challenger will face Scorchers in the final on January 28.
