Otago vs Central Districts Top Players
Otago
Keeper Max Chu has the responsibility to lead Otago in the Super Smash 2024-25. He himself is a match-winner. Apart from him, Glenn Phillips is another great name, but he might miss a few games due to national duty and will be available later on. His brother Dale Phillips will be in action. Dean Foxcroft and Jake Gibson are two exciting all-rounders to watch out for in this squad.
Central Districts
Dane Cleaver will lead the side and will be looking to take them to their fourth Super Smash title. It is a great batting unit that has Kiwi stars like Will Young and Tom Bruce. These two are two solid batters to have for your team. The bowling unit has the likes of Ajaz Patel, Doug Bracewell, and Blair Tickner, which makes them an all-round bowling attack.
