OTG vs NK Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing-11 Updates for Today's Ford Trophy (New Zealand ODD) Match 14 – Dec 13, 2020

In the fifth round of the ongoing Ford Trophy 2020-21, two in-form teams, Otago and Northern Knights, will go head to head at the University Oval in Dunedin.

Both teams have won three games apiece in the Ford Trophy this season. However, Northern Knights are ahead of Otago in the 2020-21 Ford Trophy points table only because of their bonus-point win over Auckland.

Otago have been pretty good in the Ford Trophy this season, winning three of their four games. Their first two games in the competition against Central Districts were high-scoring ones. They chased down a 187-run target with ten balls to spare in a 20-over game before defending 212 runs in a 24-over contest. After a defeat to Otago, Auckland bounced back strongly.

On the other hand, Northern Knights beat Auckland comfortably in their first two Ford Trophy games, thanks to the exploits of their bowlers. However, they were outplayed by Canterbury in their third game in the competition before Northern Districts prevailed in a thrilling final-over finish.

This is the first game of the 2020-21 Ford Trophy season at the University Oval in Dunedin. Traditionally, the 22-yard surface at this venue has been a good one to bat on.
