TEAMS PREVIEW
Central Stags Preview
Dane Cleaver's side had won once in three games. They shared the points with Wellington in the last match after rain prevented play. They need to win here to improve their position on the points table. Cleaver would like to see senior players in the side put up a good show in the game.
Brad Schmulian and Jack Boyle will look to deliver a good start as they will face a quality pace attack. Cleaver is an experienced campaigner, and he must anchor the innings in the middle order with Curtis Heaphy and Josh Clarkson. William Clark and Bayley Wiggins will need to use the long handle in the lower middle order for the side to reach a big score.
The side will need a good start with the new ball from Blair Tickner and Bevan Small. Raymond Toole has bowled well this season and will be the key bowler for the side in this game. They will also expect a good show from Jayden Lennox, Josh Clarkson, and William Clark.
Central Stags Predicted Playing XI:
Dane Cleaver (c & wk), Jack Boyle, Brad Schmulian, Curtis Heaphy, Josh Clarkson, William Clark, Bayley Wiggins, Bevan Small, Jayden Lennox, Blair Tickner, Raymond Toole

Pukekura Park, New Plymouth, is a small venue where batsmen can score runs. The pitch has good bounce, and this is something that fast bowlers enjoy here. Spinners have struggled at this venue as they lack much assistance.

Winning Prediction
Otago Volts has struggled against the Central Stags in the last few seasons. They have a poor record at this venue, which will be on their minds. The Central Stags have a strong batting line-up and depth in the bowling attack. We expect a close game, but the Central Stags have a slight edge, playing at home.
