On December 31, 2024, Otago Sparks Women and Central Districts Women will lock horns in the Women’s Super Smash. Their meeting is going to be hosted at Molyneux Park, Alexandra, with a scheduled start time of 5:10 A.M IST.

Otago Sparks Women vs Central Districts Women Chances of Winning

Otago Sparks Women have taken part in two games in the ongoing Women’s Super Smash. During their first outing against Canterbury Magicians Women, they made a meal of a simple chase and ended up falling short. Canterbury Magicians Women were the first to bat and they posted 137 runs on the board which was not a daunting target in the slightest. However, Otago Sparks Women’s opener, Suzie Bates, was the only run scorer who made a difference as she piled on 50 runs on her own. The rest of the team crumbled without doing much which left them with 125 runs on the scoreboard before the time ran out - this led to a 12-run victory for the Canterbury-based side. In the second match, Otago Sparks Women were significantly better as they kept Auckland Hearts Women down to 110 and completed the chase successfully. This time, the batters pulled their weight equally to achieve a seven-wicket win.

Contrarily, Central Districts Women have not played in the present season so far and enter this tournament as the runners-up in their 2023 campaign. With just four wins in ten fixtures, they were able to advance to the qualifiers and they beat Northern Districts Women to nab a spot in the final. However, in a rain-affected finale, Central Districts Women fell short of the win by a single run against Wellington Blaze Women via the DLS method.

Otago Sparks Women vs Central Districts Women Betting Tips

Central Districts Women to score low before first dismissal

Central Districts Women’s opening partnership went through a gradual decline in the previous season where Hollie Armitage was their mainstay opener. She opened alongside Natalie Dodd and Georgia Atkinson towards the end of the season and their yield got worse over the course of the tournament. In the last five fixtures of the competition, the team had secured first partnerships of 23, 0, 8, 83 and 34. More often than not, Hollie Armitage was the only one making a contribution and the same is expected this time around, too.

Otago Sparks Women vs Central Districts Women Toss Prediction

In both matches held at Molyneux Park so far this season, the toss winners elected to field first. The teams batting and fielding first currently have one win apiece but the average first innings score of 124 in two games suggests that chasing will be the preferred option in the next match as well.

Weather Report

On match day, a 10% possibility of precipitation is predicted at Alexandra with partly cloudy conditions and a maximum temperature of 18 degrees Celsius.

Otago Sparks Women vs Central Districts Women Betting Odds

Otago Sparks Women to have a better opening partnership than Central Districts Women

In the 2023 season of the Women’s Super League, Hollie Armitage and Natalie Dodd were Central Districts Women’s opening batters and their partnership was not particularly fruitful. The pair scored 23, 0 and 8 runs together in the last three matches of the season which was not very beneficial to the team. On the other hand, Otago Sparks Women have played two matches in the present season but their performance, too, leaves a lot to be desired. Suzie Bates and Bella James scored 17 and 5 runs before the first dismissal in the previous two games, but despite this paltry showing, they are the favorite pair for the upcoming match since they have had some time to bed in this season.

Hollie Armitage was in a league of her own in the previous season of the Women’s Super League where she notched up a total of 318 runs in ten innings. Even though she only managed one half-century in her campaign, she ended up with an average of 31.80 and will be the top pick to be their standout batter against Otago Sparks Women.

Otago Sparks Women

Otago Sparks Women made a poor start to the season but got back on their feet in the second match with a victory. They are currently second on the points table with a great net run rate of 0.564. On the contrary, Central Districts Women are yet to play their first match this season after missing out on the title last year. Since Otago Sparks Women have ten additional wins over Central Districts Women in their head-to-head tally so far, the former are the match favorites.
