Otago has built a steam of momentum as the squad breezed through the CLT20 qualifiers. Excluding the rained out match against the Mumbai Indians, Otago has won their last 13 matches, according to CricHotline.co.
"(It feels) very good to have done so well and qualified," Otago's Hamish Rutherford said earlier in the week, according to CricBuzz.com. "Not to win one or two but to win all three games in the qualifier is pretty special."
Skipper Brendon McCullum has been a driving force in Otago's batting, amassing 158 runs in three matches while getting out only once. Ian Butler has carried the Otago's bowling attack, helping to round out the talented team.
Perth will need a quicker start from their bowlers. Simon Katich has led the team well, with support coming from Adam Voges and Marcus North.
