With just a couple of matches remaining in the Super Smash 2021, things are looking pretty settled at the moment. Northern Districts have already reserved themselves a slot at the top of the table and will walk straight into the grand finale. The same goes for Canterbury Kings and Wellington Firebirds, who both are already into the playoffs and will be meeting each other in the first eliminator of the tournament.
Up next in the tournament, Canterbury Kings are all set to take on Otago Volts in what is a dead rubber in all senses. Regardless of the result of this match, no change is going to happen to the standings on the points table. Having said that, finishing the league stage with a win is something that both sides would want to do.
This upcoming match between the two sides is to be played on January 23rd, 2021 at University Oval, Dunedin.
Otago Volts have undoubtedly been one of the worst-performing sides of the tournament and their dismal record has continued from last season. They finished in the bottom half of the points table and are certain to finish at the bottom this time as well. Having said that, a win here will help them end their tournament on a high note and that is exactly what they will be looking to do.
As it currently stands on the points table, Otago Volts are placed right at the bottom spot with an utterly poor net run rate of -0.962. They have won just one match thus far and lost seven out of a total of nine played. A win here will take them to ten points, which will still be six less than the second-worst side in the competition thus far.
Performance-wise, there's absolutely no good thing that can be singled out about the Otago Volts going by their performance of late. Their last win came in way back in the first half of the tournament and their performance has only gone worse from bad since then. On paper as well, Otago Volts lack experience and firepower, which can be so crucial in this format of the game. Their batting has consistently struggled to score above-par totals and that has been the primary reason for their poor run in this season.
Barring Hamish Rutherford and Neil Broom, none of their top-order batsmen has been consistent enough to provide Volts a solid start. Michael Rippon and Anaru Kitchen have done pretty well so far, but the contributions from them have been too little too less in the context of the tournament. They would really need their experienced players to step up and play to their peak potential. Unless they are able to do that, Canterbury Kings won't really find themselves in any sort of trouble.

Even though Canterbury Kings are no longer in contention for the top spot, they can still take pride in the brand of they have played thus far. They have been a pretty difficult side to get past in the competition and now that they have already secured a playoff spot, they will be looking to rest a couple of players to keep them fresh for the knockouts.
Not that it matters anymore, Canterbury Kings are currently placed at the second spot on the points table with six wins and three losses from nine matches. Besides, they have a net run rate of 0.846, which is best amongst all teams in the tournament. A win here will be inconsequential to their standings, but they will want to win here to keep the momentum before going into the knockouts.
Canterbury Kings are coming into this match on the back of a pretty good run in their recent matches. They have registered four wins in their last five matches and will be brimming with confidence. Two out of the three matches they have lost have come against the Northern Districts. Other than that, they have lost just one match and will be looking to keep it that way.
On paper as well, they have a pretty good side with all bases covered. With experience available throughout, they have a side that is well equipped to handle crunch situations. They would want to avoid being complacent and if they can do that, getting past them will be incredibly difficult.

This match may be a dead-rubber for both these sides as far as the qualification scenarios are concerned, but both sides would still want to win here. Canterbury Kings would want to get back the momentum they had before their loss to Northern Districts whereas Otago Volts would want to finish on a high. Comparing the two sides on the basis of form and their on-paper combinations, Canterbury Kings look ahead. They also have momentum available at their disposal and that can be useful in the shortest format of the game. We are backing Canterbury Kings to register yet another win here and so should you.
