Otago Sparks Women vs Canterbury Magicians Women Chances of Winning
Otago Sparks Women were a middling team in the 2023 season of the Women's Super Smash where they won half of the matches they participated in. They were quite inconsistent throughout their campaign and their form was unpredictable - they were oscillating between winning and losing, and this instability caused them to miss out on a semi-final appearance. Their last shot at reaching the eliminator was against Northern Brave Women where the rain disrupted the match and the overs were reduced. The Otago-based side failed to chase down a target of 95 and conceded a 22-run defeat via DLS.
Canterbury Magicians Women had a season to forget as they ended their campaign with just two wins in the bag. They showed signs of being competitive at the start of the season but suffered defeat after defeat towards the end. They squandered their only chance of victory at the tail-end of the season where they ended up tied against Northern Brave Women. Overall, it was not a season to write home about and they failed to make an impact.
- Otago Sparks Women chance of winning - 43%

Otago Sparks Women vs Canterbury Magicians Women Betting Tips
Canterbury Magicians Women to score under 22.5 before first dismissal @ 1.87 (Batery)
Canterbury Magicians Women’s openers showed little consistency in the previous season, especially with Kate Anderson’s performance being a tad unpredictable. Even though fellow opener Frances Mackay often top-scored for the team, the opening wicket did not flourish as much as they would have liked, having set up totals of 4, 3, 32, 66 and 18 runs in the last five matches. Additionally, Mackay and Anderson’s averages of 27.75 and 20.22, respectively, were not particularly compelling and put them on the backfoot going into the next game.

Otago Sparks Women vs Canterbury Magicians Women Betting Odds
Otago Sparks Women to have a better opening partnership than Canterbury Magicians Women
Kate Anderson and Frances Mackay were the openers for Canterbury Magicians Women in the previous season and the former often underperformed, resulting in stands of 4, 3 and 32 runs in the last three matches. Otago Sparks Women had a similar problem since Suzie Bates was highly consistent while her partner, Bella James, was dismissed early on nearly every occasion.
