Otago skipper Hamish Rutherford. The Otago Volts backed up heavy losses to the Central Stags and Canterbury Kings with a tense five-wicket defeat to the Wellington Firebirds in a Super Smash match in Queenstown today. He got out with victory in sight, leaving former Volts all-rounder Nathan Smith the job of breaking Otago hearts. Earlier, Otago opener Josh Tasman-Jones flashed the ball between the keeper and first slip to get his innings under way. Wellington opener Finn Allen clubbed 32 from 13 balls to turbo charge the run chase.
