The Wellington Firebirds will be up against the Otago Volts in the sixth match of the Ford Trophy 2021-22 on Tuesday at the Basin Reserve, Wellington.

Wicketkeeper
Finn Allen: Allen is a young and talented opening wicket-keeper batter who has the ability to take the bowlers to the cleaners. He couldn’t capitalize on the start in the previous match as he was dismissed on 23 runs but is expected to shine in this match.
Batters
Neil Broom: Broom has performed admirably so far this season with the bat. He has registered two consecutive half-centuries and will aim to make it three in a row.
Troy Johnson: Troy played a brilliant 73-run knock in the previous game to help his side reach a respectable total. The middle-order batter can pace the innings well, which makes him a top pick from the batting department.
All-rounders
Michael Rippon: Rippon has been a top all-rounder performer for the Volts this season. He has scored 44 runs with the bat and has four wickets under his belt already.
Logan van Beek: Logan is a decent bowling all-rounder who can also score some handy runs as well. He had a decent showing in the previous game as he managed to take one wicket at an economy of around 4, while also scoring some quick runs at the death.
