Bay Oval

In the Women’s Super Smash this season, Northern Brave Women and Otago Sparks Women are poised to take on each other for a second time on January 25, 2025. The encounter will be hosted at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui, with a scheduled start time of 6:40 A.M IST.

Northern Brave Women vs Otago Sparks Women Chances of Winning

Northern Brave Women did not have luck on their side in the last outing since their match against Central Districts Women was abandoned without a ball bowled, owing to poor weather conditions. This is the second time in the present season that they are faced with an unfortunate circumstance, considering their opening match versus Auckland Hearts Women ended without a result. Nevertheless, they made the most of the rest of their campaign with three wins in five games although their defeat at the hands of Canterbury Magicians Women was unprecedented.

Otago Sparks Women’s purple patch ended after a five-match winning streak and they suffered their third loss of the season in the last encounter against Auckland Hearts Women. The latter’s score of 162 was an uphill task but still doable, and Otago Sparks Women made a meal of their chase. The top order failed to make an impact and this resulted in a domino effect which caused the entire batting lineup to come crashing down subsequently. In the end, Otago Sparks Women were relegated to 137/7 and they lost by 25 runs.

Northern Brave Women vs Otago Sparks Women Betting Tips

Northern Brave Women to score over 21.5 before first dismissal @ 1.86 (Parimatch)

Jess Watkin and Chamari Athapaththu made a solid start to the campaign with excellent opening stands but their performance took a hit with a slight instability in the last three games, having scored 12, 41 and 4 runs before the first dismissal. However, in the two matches prior to that, the duo absolutely knocked it out of the park with opening totals of 87 and 59 runs. For the next game, though, the bookmakers bank on the pair to return to form and put on a competitive first partnership.

Northern Brave Women vs Otago Sparks Women Toss Prediction

Two matches were held at Bay Oval in the previous edition of the tournament and the teams batting and fielding first were tied with one victory each. Despite that, it is worth noting that the average first innings score of 122 is not enough to defend and since it is quite easily attainable, the teams will prefer to chase in the upcoming encounter.

Weather Report

Cloudy skies and a 20% possibility of rain are predicted on match day at Mount Maunganui, coupled with a maximum temperature of 23 degrees Celsius.

Northern Brave Women vs Otago Sparks Women Betting Odds

Northern Brave Women to have a better opening partnership than Otago Sparks Women @ 1.71 (Parimatch)

Jess Watkin and Chamari Athapaththu’s partnership has gone downhill and they have lost the consistency they started the campaign with. In two out of the last three games, the team ended up with paltry opening scores of 12 and 4 runs. However, the pair outperformed Otago Sparks Women’s openers in their last meeting, having scored 41 runs while the latter amassed 36 runs. Although Otago Sparks Women’s first wicket has a slightly better trajectory since Suzie Bates and Bella James scored 23, 77 and 36 runs in the previous three matches, the bookmakers expect Northern Brave Women to come into their own in the upcoming fixture.
