Basin Reserve

On January 9, 2025, Wellington Blaze Women and Central Districts Women will engage in their second Women’s Super Smash encounter of the present season. They are set to clash at Basin Reserve, Wellington, and the match is going to begin at 5:10 A.M IST.

Wellington Blaze Women vs Central Districts Women Chances of Winning

Wellington Blaze Women have been quite successful in the tournament thus far and their title defense is coming along well. However, their batting performance in the last match was somewhat suspect since they were restricted to 114/8 by the end of the innings. Jess Kerr was the only real contributor with 59 runs and her innings was the team’s saving grace. The bowlers, though, were hellbent on taking victory and they accomplished that by dismissing Central Districts Women for 89. Leigh Kasperek’s four-wicket haul and Jess Kerr’s spell which yielded three wickets made it possible to turn the game around in Wellington Blaze Women’s favor, and they won by 25 runs in the end.

On the contrary, Central Districts Women have faced blow after blow and they conceded defeat for the third time this season against Northern Brave Women in their last outing. After being bundled out for 112 where Hollie Armitage’s 61 was the only consequential innings, Northern Brave Women did not have much of a task on their hands. Central Districts Women’s bowlers were not able to defend this paltry total and they lost by a nine-wicket margin.

Wellington Blaze Women vs Central Districts Women Betting Tips

Central Districts Women to score under 15.5 before first dismissal @ 1.86 (Parimatch)

Hollie Armitage and Emma McLeod were unable to survive against Wellington Blaze Women’s bowling attack last time out where they ended up with a stand of just seven runs. Although skipper Mikaela Greig has taken over in lieu of McLeod, they do not have the firepower to take on Wellington Blaze Women’s Amelia Kerr, Leigh Kasperek, Ellyse Perry and Jess Kerr among other strong bowlers. Considering the barriers they would have to break in order to succeed, the odds are stacked against Central Districts Women’s opening duo.

Wellington Blaze Women vs Central Districts Women Toss Prediction

Basin Reserve did not have a particularly batting-friendly surface in the previous season of the tournament, and after four completed matches the average first innings total came out to 116. Two out of four games were won by those chasing while one was tied. The only match that went in favor of the batting side was largely an anomaly and the toss winning skipper will be keen to field first in the upcoming game.

Weather Report

A 45% possibility of rain at Wellington will make it difficult for the match to proceed without weather disruptions, and the temperature is expected to reach 16 degrees Celsius.

Wellington Blaze Women’s batting was out of sorts in the last match which is highly unseemly of the reigning champions. Their batters need to rely less on Amelia Kerr and Jess Kerr for all the scoring.

Mikaela Greig (c), Aniela Apperley, Hollie Armitage, Kerry-Anne Tomlinson, Thamsyn Newton, Emma McLeod, Flora Devonshire, Grace Foreman, Ocean Bartlett, Kate Gaging, Anna Gaging, Ashtuti Kumar, Claudia Green, Georgia Atkinson, Hannah Rowe, Rosemary Mair, Emily Cunningham.

Predicted Playing XI

Central Districts Women Team Form

Central Districts Women are out of form and their performance in every aspect of the game has been lackluster so far.

Wellington Blaze Women vs Central Districts Women Head-to-Head

Although her last performance was not very beneficial to the team, she is expected to bounce back in the next match.

She leads the run charts for the team with 96 runs in three innings and an average of 48.00. The opener remains the top pick against Wellington Blaze Women.

Leigh Kasperek emerged as the leading wicket-taker for Wellington Blaze Women, having taken a four-wicket haul in the previous outing. She is the top bowler for the team so far with six wickets in two innings and an excellent average of 6.66, making her a top contender for the upcoming fixture.

Rosemary Mair to be Central Districts Women’s Best Bowler

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Wellington Blaze Women

Although Wellington Blaze Women are two for two at the moment, they are down in fourth in the standings due to their inferior net run rate of 0.725 compared to those above them. Despite this, it is quite obvious that the team are still a force to reckoned with after a title-winning campaign last season. Central Districts Women lost to the Amelia Kerr-led team in their previous head-to-head match this season and they are currently occupants of the final spot on the points table with a net run rate of -1.281. The bookmakers are quite clear in their support of Wellington Blaze Women for the next outing, too.
