Auckland Hearts Women are favorites to win
Auckland Hearts will take on Central Hinds at the Kennards Hire Community Oval, Auckland. Match 16 of the 2022-23 Women’s Super Smash gets underway at 10:00 local time on Saturday 14th January.
It has been an inconsistent start to the tournament for Auckland Hearts who come into this game in fourth place after winning two and losing three from their opening five fixtures. They will be very confident of making it three victories against Central Hinds.
Auckland Hearts have not had one standout batter across the 2022-23 Women’s Super Smash with four players top scoring across their five games so far. Saachi Shahri is the only player to have top scored in two games with a top score of 68 runs.
Auckland Hearts were beaten by 27 runs in their last match although their bowlers still picked up eight wickets in the defeat. 35 year old right arm pace bowler Holly Huddleston took 4-21 in that game and she will be full of confidence at the prospect of bowling at Central Hinds in this match.
Auckland Hearts have not lost back to back games or won back to back games across all five of their matches in this season’s tournament.
Not much has gone well for Central Hinds in this campaign and they come into this match looking to end their record of five defeats from five games. They performed ok in the last clash with Auckland Hearts, losing by only 10 runs in New Plymouth last Thursday.
Although the team results have not been there, 30 year old keeper-batter Natalie Dodd has had an excellent start to 2023 with the bat for Central Hinds. She hit 60 runs from 40 balls against the Hearts before making 78 not out from 63 balls in the last game against Wellington Blaze.
Central Hinds’ bowlers only got through 6.5 overs before the rain came and ended their clash with Wellington Blaze at the Basin Reserve last Saturday. Medium pacer Claudia Green took 2-16 in the reverse fixture against the Hearts and she will be keen to have another go at the same batters in this fixture.
Central Hinds won only two matches in last year’s Women’s Super Smash and are yet to get their first win in this year’s tournament.
The match will be played at the Kennards Hire Community Oval Auckland. Pace bowlers will get the most assistance from this pitch and we expect any score over 140 to be very hard to chase down.
