CD vs OTG 11th ODD Dream11 Team Prediction of The Ford Trophy 2018: Preview

Hello and Welcome to our preview for Central Districts vs Otago match. We are covering CD VS OTG 11th ODD Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the ODD match. The match is to be played at University Oval, Dunedin.

Central Districts are ranked fourth on points table with one win and one loss. Their last match was abandoned due to wet outfield. In their last completed match, no batsmen were able to put a good performance leading to a low total of 163. Defending the target, only Doug Bracewell was able to put a good show taking two scalps leading to five-wicket loss. They will hope to put a good show tomorrow and improve their standing in the points table.

Team Otago is not in a good form this season and has just won a single encounter while they have lost two encounters. They lost their last match against Wellington badly by the margin of 193 runs. Jacob Duffy and Nathan Smith were the only positives with the ball taking two wickets each while H Rutherford was the sole scorer with the bat scoring 44 runs. A greater responsibility and performance will be expected from all players.

A good match can be expected between both teams.
