WF vs OV Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11 and Pitch Report for Super Smash 2021-22, Match 19

The 19th match of the Super Smash 2021-22 has the Wellington Firebirds (WF) taking on the Otago Volts (OV) at the Basin Reserve in Wellington on Thursday.

The Wellington Firebirds have blown hot and cold this season with two wins in five games. However, they have a strong bowling attack to fall back on as Michael Bracewell and co. eye another win in front of their home crowd. They face an Otago Volts side who are reeling at the bottom of the points table with just one win all season. But with the likes of Hamish Rutherford and Neil Broom in their ranks, one cannot rule out Otago Volts winning this fixture.

Pitch Report

Despite this being the second match of the day at the venue, a high-scoring game is expected at the Basin Reserve. Although there will be some swing on offer with the new ball, the batters will enjoy the ball skidding through the deck nicely. There isn't much turn on offer for the spinners, who will need to be spot on with their lines and lengths. Wickets in hand will be key, with 170 being par on this ground.
