Otago Women are coming off a 20-run defeat against Wellington at this same venue in Alexandra. Bowling first, the Otago bowling unit didn't have any answer to the brilliance of Amelia Kerr, who made 88 off 57. Emma Black was excellent with the ball, picking 1 for 19 in four overs but the rest of the attack was ineffective.
Chasing 160, the top order provided them a good platform. They were 96 for 1 in 13.2 overs but then kept losing wickets as the required rate went up. Captain Suzie Bates made 70 off 55 but didn't have much support as they fell short of the target.
Auckland Women haven't had any action in their last two fixtures as both games were abandoned without a ball being bowled. Earlier, they lost their opening game against Canterbury Women by 11 runs. Auckland chose to bowl first and did well to restrict the opponents to 127/8, with Skye Bowden claiming 4 for 18. Chasing the target, four of their batters scored 20+ runs but none of them managed to make a significant impact.
Talking about this contest, Otago Women hold an edge due to a better overall quality in their squad. The two teams' chances of winning this game are as follows.
