Preview:
Under-performing Otago will take on 2nd placed Central Districts in the 14th match of the tournament. Otago, who are without their major players, are struggling here and are yet to open their account. On the other hand, Central Districts have done well so far and have lost only one match from their four outings. They are likely to win this contest as well.
