The Mondiale Aces will keep the same squad that beat the Wellington Firebirds over the weekend to take on the Otago Volts tomorrow in Dunedin.

The match at University Oval will see third play first as the Mondiale Aces come up against an Otago Volts side fresh off a loss to their southern neighbours Canterbury.

Both sides will be eager to take maximum points from the game as they look to press for prime finals positions with just a few games left in the competition. The teams were evenly matched in their first encounter at Eden Park and the game promises to be an exciting one.

Mondiale Aces Coach Mark O’Donnell believes Otago will be a big challenge for his side.

“We bounced back really well following a disappointing loss to Canterbury and the team executed our plans very well.”

“Otago pushed us to the very end at Eden Park and we are anticpating another big battle. We know they are a canny side and we will have to play very well to come away with a win."

An XI will be selected from the following 12 players (shirt number in brackets)-
