Eden Park Outer Oval

Auckland Hearts Women and Otago Sparks Women will meet in the Women’s Super Smash for a second time this season at Eden Park Outer Oval, Auckland. The match is going to take place on January 23, 2025, at 5:10 A.M IST.

Auckland Hearts Women vs Otago Sparks Women Chances of Winning

Auckland Hearts Women are having a challenging time in the tournament this season and the fact they suffered their fourth loss so far is not promising. In the last game versus Wellington Blaze Women, the latter were limited to a rather low total of 134. This should have been a doable task for Auckland Hearts Women but the batters were completely off the mark. Barring Maddy Green’s 48 and Lauren Down’s 35, most of the team were dismissed for single digit scores. Eventually, the Maddy Green-led side were kept down to 121/6 by the end of the innings to concede a 13-run defeat.

Otago Sparks Women are currently the most successful team in the Women’s Super Smash this season and they bagged their sixth victory in the last outing against Wellington Blaze Women. It was a cakewalk from start to finish for the latter as the bowlers ensured Wellington Blaze Women only racked in 120 runs. This made life rather easy for the batters who brought it home with seven wickets to spare. The openers are largely credited with the success since Bella James and Suzie Bates were the top two batters with 40 and 36 runs, respectively.

Auckland Hearts Women vs Otago Sparks Women Betting Tips

Otago Sparks Women to score over 18.5 before first dismissal @ 1.87 (Batery)

Otago Sparks Women’s opening partnership has not been entirely smooth sailing in the tournament so far and they have had their share of ups and downs. The team’s mainstay openers, Suzie Bates and Bella James, have secured opening stands of 77, 36, 18, 4 and 22 runs in the last five matches. Despite their erratic run in the season until now, the openers are expected to keep up the momentum and score big in the upcoming fixture.

Auckland Hearts Women vs Otago Sparks Women Toss Prediction

Eden Park Outer Oval hosted one match in the Women’s Super Smash prior to this encounter and the pitch proved to be a low-scoring one. Auckland Hearts Women scored 122 during the match and even though Canterbury Magicians Women chose to field first, the latter lost by seven runs. However, this was an aberration and the toss winner of the next match will also want to chase at this venue.

Weather Report

Auckland Hearts Women vs Otago Sparks Women Betting Odds

Otago Sparks Women to have a better opening partnership than Auckland Hearts Women

Saachi Shahri and Isabella Gaze have had an unending struggle at the front and their partnerships for Auckland Hearts Women are far from competent. In the last three matches, the established pair added 0, 12 and 10 runs to the first wicket. They fall short in front of Otago Sparks Women’s openers, Suzie Bates and Bella James, whose partnership has only gotten better over the course of the season. Together, the duo secured 77, 36 and 18 runs in the previous three fixtures. Needless to say, the latter are the favorite first partnership in the next match.

Auckland Hearts Women vs Otago Sparks Women Best Batters

Maddy Green to be Auckland Hearts Women’s Best Batter

She is currently the second leading batter for Auckland Hearts Women with 184 runs in six innings with an average of 30.66. She is the top pick to be their standout batter.

Caitlin Blakely to be Otago Sparks Women’s Best Batter

Caitlin Blakely has built quite a gap over her teammates with a total of 172 runs in eight innings and an average of 34.40 so far. Her unbeaten 27 in the last game against Otago Sparks Women was among the top scores of the innings. Given her consistency, she is anticipated to be their leading run-getter in the next encounter.

Eden Carson to be Otago Sparks Women’s Best Bowler

Eden Carson was the joint highest wicket-taker for Otago Sparks Women in the previous game versus Wellington Blaze Women, having claimed one wicket in four overs. However, she is unparalleled at the top with 17 wickets in the bag and an average of 11.05 overall, making her the top contender to be their premier bowler once more.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Otago Sparks Women

Auckland Hearts Women and Otago Sparks Women are hardly comparable in terms of form this season, considering the former are in terrible shape this season in the penultimate position of the standings. They have two victories, four defeats and an awful net run rate of -0.549. They are in no way, shape or form a threat to Otago Sparks Women who are the table toppers with six wins in eight games and a net run rate of 0.243. The choice was quite easy for the bookmakers who rely on the Otago-based team to come out on top.
