Hitesh: Cricket Exchange Fantasy XI looks perfect to me, I would go with the same team.
Megh: Would you make any changes to the Cricket Exchange Fantasy XI? 
Hitesh: Good morning to everyone tuning in...... Thanks for your warm welcome, Megh. To predict a par score in T20 cricket is the toughest task, to be honest, any score nowadays is been chased. Still, if I had to predict I guess anything around 180 will be a good score.
Megh: It is time to welcome my co-commentator Hitesh into the comm box. Hello mate, I hope you’re doing well. Seddon Park is hosting its first game of the season. What according to you could be the par score at this venue?

Toss Update: Otago Volts have won the toss and elected to field first.
Players to Watch For Today:

Dean Foxcroft: The Auckland all-rounder is currently leading the charts in all three departments being the leading run-scorer and leading wicket-taker of the tournament. The offbreak bowler has tallied 9 wickets in 4 innings at an economy of 5 and the right-handed has also accumulated 198 runs with the bat with an average of 49.50. 

Katene Clarke: With experienced Tim Seifert having a decent run this season, Clarke has been shielding the Brave’s top order. The right-hander has bagged 122 runs in 4 innings and is clocking at this encounter with scores of 49(38) and 41(24).  

Tim Pringle: The Dutch all-rounder has also been in fine form this season claiming 5 scalps in 4 innings at an economy rate of 6.21.   

Head-to-Head (Last 10 matches): Both Brave and Volts have a neck-to-neck affair as they are deadlocked at 5 victories each from the last 10 matches. Having said that, the Jeet Raval-led Brave has already overpowered Otago once earlier this season and they would certainly be the front-runners today.
Pitch Report: The Seddon Park in Hamilton would be hosting its inaugural Super Smash of the season today. The surface here is believed to be appropriate for the batters, but having said that, it typically has a thin layer of grass on top and is believed to be bouncy. This will eventually assist the seamers to get some lateral movement from the surface.
