Canterbury Magicians Women are favorites to win
Canterbury Magicians will take on Northern Brave Women at Hagley Oval, Christchurch. Match 16 of the 2022-23 Women’s Super Smash gets underway at 15:00 local time on Friday 13th January.
The Magicians have won four of their five matches in this campaign with their only defeat coming against Wellington Blaze in Match 9. They beat Auckland Hearts by 27 runs in their last game and could go top of the table with a victory in this fixture.
Amy Satterthwaite and Kate Anderson have been the top batters for Canterbury Magicians with both players hitting over 150 runs. Satterthwaite is averaging 95.00 and only Suzie Bates has hit more runs than her in the tournament so far. It would be a surprise if the Magicians did not post a score over 150 if they bat first.
24 year old right-arm medium pacer Gabby Sullivan took the first four-wicket haul of the competition against Auckland Hearts. She dismissed all of the top three batters inside the first six overs and is now the top wicket taker in the 2022-23 Women’s Super Smash. Sullivan and Melissa Banks will both get good pace and carry from this pitch.
Although Canterbury Magicians lost to Wellington Blaze, they responded with an immediate victory against Auckland Hearts and are targeting their fifth victory of the campaign in this match.
It has been a tough campaign for Northern Brave Women so far with the team picking up only one win. Their victory came over bottom of the table Central Hinds and it is likely that Canterbury Magicians will prove to be very tough opponents in this game.
Northern Brave Women’s last match ended as a no-result after rain interrupted their fixture with Otago Sparks in Match 13. Their bowlers did not get an opportunity to bowl in that game and we expect their leading wicket taker, Nensi Patel, to generate good speed from this surface.
At the time of writing, Jess Kerr is the leading wicket taker in the tournament after recording figures of 3-30 and 3-22 from the opening two matches. Leigh Kasperek has five wickets so far and we expect those two bowlers to be the most dangerous in this game.
Although they have won only one match during this competition, Northern Brave Women have lost only one of their last three games.
The match will be played at Hagley Oval, Christchurch. Any score over 145 should be enough to win on this pitch which will favour the quick bowlers.

Northern Brave Women were on 122-7 from 18.3 overs in their last game before the rain arrived and they will need to bat with a similar level in this game if they are to challenge Canterbury Magicians. In Amy Satterthwaite and Kate Anderson, the Magicians have two of the top five run scorers in the tournament and very few bowlers are able to stop them. Our prediction is for Canterbury Magicians to win this match.
