South East Stars vs Central Sparks Chance of Winning
Both South East Stars and Central Sparks are out of the playoff race and this clash between them will be about finishing the season on a strong note. The winners of the inaugural edition Stars and last year's finalists Sparks could never really get any momentum in their campaign this time. South East Stars are sixth on the table with eight points and a net run-rate of -0.161. Central Sparks occupy the seventh place with an inferior net run-rate. Both sides could only win two games each and lost four.
South East Stars needed to beat Thunder to remain in the race but fell short by 16 runs. Chasing 166, Bryony Smith (51 off 32) and Paige Scholfield (31 off 27) put them in a strong position. But the middle order just crumbled and they could not recover. Central Sparks lost their previous fixture against Western Storm by seven wickets. Erin Burns was excellent with the bat, scoring 66 off 45 to push the total to 135. However, it wasn't enough as their bowlers couldn't make much of an impact.
- South East Stars chance of winning @ 43%
- Central Sparks chance of winning @ 57%

Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Central Sparks
Both teams have had a similar run in this season of the Charlotte Edwards Cup. There's not much to separate them but Amy Jones being unavailable has depleted Central Sparks.

- South East Stars to win - 1.98
- Central Sparks to win - 1.74
