AA vs OV Dream11 Prediction: It is time for match no 27 in the Dream11 Super Smash 2020-21, which will witness the Aces hosting the Volts at the Eden Park Outer Oval. Both teams have nothing to lose now and would be looking to play for pride. The Volts have managed only two wins from 8 games and taking the fifth spot, whereas, a solitary win from 8 games means Auckland Aces reeling right at the bottom.
Both teams are left with two games and would be hoping to please their fans with a win and end their disappointing campaign on a high. With nothing much at stake except for pride, we could be in for a real treat for a really exciting game of T20 cricket.
