  • Wellington Blaze Women’s Amelia Kerr is the second highest run scorer of the Women’s Super League with 67 runs in one innings.

Central Districts Women vs Wellington Blaze Women Chances of Winning

Central Districts Women’s form was quite terrible in the last match and gave no indication whatsoever that they were the runners-up of the previous season. Their batters were utterly abysmal and let the team down with a measly score of 89 against Otago Sparks Women. Opener Hollie Armitage was the only one who anchored the innings but she was a one-man-army in this scenario with an unbeaten 32. The rest did virtually nothing and put the team in a losing position early on. However, the bowlers almost miraculously succeeded at defending their disastrous total by taking nine wickets by the end of the innings. It came down to the last few deliveries of the final over and Otago Sparks Women barely won by the skin of their teeth with one wicket left.

Wellington Blaze Women seem determined to defend their title and they proved to be highly competitive in the previous match against Northern Districts Women. Batting first, the former notched up a total of 150, thanks to Amelia Kerr and Jess Kerr who scored 67* and 61* runs, respectively. Northern Districts Women came awfully close to overcoming the target but the Wellington-based side defended it with all their might. Once again, it was Amelia Kerr who came in clutch with a four-wicket haul, and the team eventually took victory by four runs.

Central Districts Women vs Wellington Blaze Women Betting Tips

Wellington Blaze Women to score high before first dismissal

Wellington Blaze Women’s captain, Amelia Kerr, has figures that speak for themselves as she ended up with an average of 72.83 in the previous season of the tournament. Alongside a generational talent and seasoned player like Ellyse Perry, the team’s opening wicket is certainly in safe hands. Although the last match was not the best representation of their full potential since the latter was out on a single digit score and the pair notched up just 12 runs together, there is no doubt about the fact that they will bring about a drastic improvement with time.

Central Districts Women vs Wellington Blaze Women Toss Prediction

Saxton Oval is not known for supporting high-scoring totals since the average first innings score after nine T20I matches is 147. Although this is rather low, the teams batting first are quite dominant with seven wins in the bag. Since chasing is difficult to pull off on this surface, batting first is the favorable option for the next game.

Weather Report

A 10% chance of rain at Nelson is not a threat to the game even though partially cloudy skies are predicted. The temperature is expected to remain around 20 degrees Celsius.

Wellington Blaze Women to have a better opening partnership than Central Districts Women

Emma McLeod and Hollie Armitage’s partnership for Central Districts Women came to an end after the former was dismissed on two in the last outing against Otago Sparks Women, and the pair managed to collaborate for just 15 runs.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Wellington Blaze Women

Central Districts Women went up against Wellington Blaze Women in the final of the 2023/24 season for the title but lost miserably. They do not seem to have improved much since then and their previous match was a mess from start to finish. They certainly pale in comparison to Wellington Blaze Women who kicked off their campaign with a win. Based on the form both sides have shown, Wellington Blaze Women are the favorites to reign supreme in this encounter.
