Northern Districts Women vs Wellington Blaze Women Chances of Winning
Northern Districts Women’s opening match of the season against Auckland Hearts Women did not go to plan at all since it was almost entirely washed out. The game was reduced to 12 overs and the former batted first to secure a total of 67/7. Caitlin Gurrey and Eve Wolland were tied as the top scorers, having amassed 15 runs each but the game did not progress beyond this due to a downpour. Eventually, the match ended without a result.
Defending champions Wellington Blaze Women, on the other hand, are yet to play their first fixture of the season. They were a force to be reckoned with throughout the previous season, having finished at the top of the points table in the group stage with seven wins in ten matches. They have, arguably, the strongest team in the tournament even now and it would come as no surprise if they went hammer and tongs at the first time of asking against Northern Districts Women.

Northern Districts Women vs Wellington Blaze Women Betting Tips
Northern Districts Women to score low before first dismissal
Jess Watkin and Chamari Athapaththu were the lead-off batters for Northern Districts Women in the previous season of the tournament and their inconsistency was a major problem for the team. During the last five fixtures of the season, they scored 0, 68, 7, 3 and 29 runs before the first dismissal. In the team’s first game of the present season, Jess Watkin returned as the opening batter but this time she was partnered with Tash Wakelin. Their partnership did not take off either as they added nine runs to the first wicket together. Northern Districts Women are not expected to end up with a competent opening stand in the next game either.
Northern Districts Women vs Wellington Blaze Women Toss Prediction
Out of four matches hosted at Seddon Park last season, the teams batting and fielding first had an equal record with two wins each. However, the average first innings total across the season was as low as 122. In the last game held here between Northern Districts Women and Auckland Hearts Women this season, the latter chose to field first and the same is expected of the toss winner of the next game.
