Fitzherbert Park

Central Districts Women and Otago Sparks Women are poised to meet for a second time this season in the Women’s Super Smash. The clash will take place on January 12, 2025, at Fitzherbert Park, Palmerston North, with a scheduled start time of 5:10 A.M IST.

Central Districts Women vs Otago Sparks Women Chances of Winning

Central Districts Women saw no respite after a fourth consecutive defeat against Wellington Blaze Women in the last match. The former racked in just 113 runs and found themselves bundled out. Opener Hollie Armitage is the only one pulling her weight with the bat as she scored 47 runs but the rest of the batters were all let-downs. This was, naturally, not a score the bowlers could defend and Wellington Blaze Women chased it down with eight wickets in hand.

Otago Sparks Women, in complete contrast, extended their winning streak after taking down Canterbury Magicians Women in the previous outing. The former batted first and posted a modest total of 150 - Olivia Gain and Caitlin Blakely were the leading run-getters of the innings with 48 and 43 runs, respectively. Canterbury Magicians Women had a tough time chasing it down and their entire batting order came crashing down one by one. By the end of 20 overs, they were at 135/8 and lost by a close margin of 15 runs.

Central Districts Women vs Otago Sparks Women Betting Tips

Central Districts Women to score under 17.5 before first dismissal @ 1.87 (Batery)

In the four matches that Central Districts Women have played this season, there has not been a single match where the opening pair scored a total higher than 17.5. While Hollie Armitage has been at the front from the beginning, her partner has shifted from Emma McLeod to Mikaela Greig. This has made no difference whatsoever since they have opening totals of 1, 16, 7 and 15 runs in the last four fixtures. With no improvement in the slightest, their chances of scoring big in the next game are rather low.

Central Districts Women vs Otago Sparks Women Toss Prediction

A single match was held at Fitzherbert Park last season between Central Districts Women and Northern Brave Women where the former won the toss and elected to bat first. Although they scored a mere 141/7, they defended it with all their might and ended up winning by six runs. The surface is better suited to the batters and the toss winner will be keen to bat first.

Central Districts Women vs Otago Sparks Women Betting Odds

Otago Sparks Women to have a better opening partnership than Central Districts Women

Hollie Armitage has been the only one lugging the weight of Central Districts Women’s opening partnerships and as a result, the team has ended up with meager totals of 1, 16 and 7 runs before the first dismissal. This is not to say that Otago Sparks Women are any different since their scores of 22, 5 and 17 are not particularly impressive either. However, Suzie Bates and Bella James are a reliable opening pair and have the potential to secure a competitive score in the next match.
