On the other hand, Wellington Firebirds are second in the table with 3 wins, 1 loss, and 1 no result in 5 matches.
Otago Volts have match-winners on their side and the whole team will be motivated by the prospect of defeating the top-of-the-table side. On their home pitch, they could well cause the Firebirds some problems.
Wellington Firebirds got off to an excellent start in the 2022-23 Super Smash but their progress has been slowed due to bad weather and a defeat. They will need to be at their best if they want to get back to winning ways in this clash.
