NK vs OTG Dream11 Fantasy Preview
After the first round of the matches in the Super Smash, Otago stands tall with a brilliant win over Auckland.

While both sides are fairly balanced on paper, the forecast for this game isn’t too great. The chances of this match happening being very bleak although there is hope of a rain-curtailed match in Hamilton.
