Otago Sparks Women vs Wellington Blaze Women Chances of Winning

Otago Sparks Women’s purple patch was disrupted by Northern Districts Women in their previous outing. After the former elected to bat first, their paltry score of 110/9 was not enough for the bowlers to defend. Suzie Bates’ 26 and Olivia Gain’s 21 were the top scores of the innings but the others failed to contribute. Naturally, Otago Sparks Women found it challenging to defend this total and despite taking three wickets, they ended up losing for the second time this season.

Wellington Blaze Women’s last encounter was against Otago Sparks Women where the former suffered their first defeat of the present tournament. The Amelia Kerr-led side were the first to bat and the skipper kicked off the innings with 41 runs. However, Jess Kerr was the only other contributor with 56* runs and most of the batters faced duck dismissals which resulted in an awful total of 109. There was nothing the bowlers could do and the team conceded defeat by seven wickets.

Otago Sparks Women vs Wellington Blaze Women Betting Tips

Wellington Blaze Women to score over 17.5 before first dismissal @ 1.86 (Parimatch)

Amelia Kerr’s partnership with Ellyse Perry in the first two matches of the season did not go particularly well as the latter was out of form and it reflects in scant totals of 12 and 17 runs together. However, the introduction of Rebecca Burns made Wellington Blaze Women’s opening wicket instantly better with scores of 18 and 82 runs in the previous two fixtures. The two batters certainly have potential to keep building on their present form.

Otago Sparks Women vs Wellington Blaze Women Toss Prediction

University Oval is a low-scoring surface which makes it rather simple for the teams fielding first. In the last match between Otago Sparks Women and Northern Districts Women held at the venue, the former chose to bat first which did not work out at all. The first innings score of 110 was far too easy to chase, making fielding first the preferred option for the next match.

Weather Report

The conditions at Dunedin will be overcast but with a 10% chance of rain, the weather is not a threat to the match. The temperature is expected to hover around 18 degrees Celsius.

Otago Sparks Women vs Wellington Blaze Women Betting Odds

Wellington Blaze Women to have a better opening partnership than Otago Sparks Women @ 1.78 (Parimatch)

Otago Sparks Women are having a hard time finding an opening combination which works for them, and they have tried out three different lineups in the last three matches. Although their partnership has seen an improvement with scores of 36, 18 and 4 runs, their unpredictability makes them rather dicey. Amelia Kerr and Rebecca Burns’ partnership for Wellington Blaze Women seems to be much better, having added 18 and 82 runs to the first wicket. The latter’s opening wicket is expected to succeed and do better than that of Otago Sparks Women in the upcoming fixture.
