OTG vs CTB Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's Ford Trophy (New Zealand ODD) Match 21 – Feb 19, 2021

The Ford Trophy has returned after two months for its second half. Otago will be up against Canterbury in one of the three seventh-round games. The John Davies Oval in Queenstown will be the venue for this match. Canterbury have been in good form throughout the summer of 2020-21 while Otago have been inconsistent.

Canterbury reached the final of the Super Smash T20 and were pretty consistent even in the first half of the Ford Trophy. They are currently second in the points table with four wins from six games. Canterbury have also named a strong squad and they will be buoyed by the return of the New Zealand international duo of Tom Latham and Henry Nicholls.

On the other hand, Otago have blown hot and cold throughout this season. They finished with the wooden spoon in the Super Smash T20. Before that, Otago won three and lost three in the first half of the Ford Trophy. They will hope to turn things around and build some momentum in the second half of the Ford Trophy.

Pitch Report

It is the first game of the season at the John Davies Oval in Queenstown. The 22-yard surface is likely to be a solid one to bat on and the ball is most probably going to come on to the bat nicely. Batters will be able to play on the up as well. However, there might be some movement early on and we may see some turn as well.
