CM-W vs OS-W T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Super Smash Women 2023

Canterbury Magicians will take on Otago Sparks at Hagley Oval, Christchurch. Match 28 of the 2022-23 Women’s Super Smash gets underway at 10:00 local time on Saturday 4th February.

Canterbury Magicians

The Magicians are in second place in the table, 10 points behind Wellington Blaze in the top position. They had a 25 run (DLS) victory over bottom of the table Central Hinds in their last game in Match 23. This is the first time the Magicians are taking on the Sparks in this year’s tournament.

CM-W Team Batting

Right-handed opener Kate Anderson maintained her strong form in 2023 with 92 not out from 69 balls in the win over Central Hinds in Match 23. Amy Satterthwaite has not been able to convert her good starts into big scores over recent matches but remains a top quality player.

CM-W Team Bowling

There was a wicket each for Sarah Asmussen, Melissa Banks, Gabby Sullivan and Kate Anderson in the 18 overs bowled by Canterbury Magicians in last Friday’s match. It could be hard work for their bowling attack on this batter-friendly pitch.

CM-W Team Form

Canterbury Magicians have lost only two games all tournament and have won three of their last four.

Otago Sparks

A recent upturn in form has seen Otago Sparks climb up the table in the 2022-23 Women’s Super Smash and they come into this match in third place. Both of their last two games have been against bottom of the table Central Hinds and this will be a much tougher test for the batters and bowlers.

OS-W Team Batting

Runs from Olivia Gain (23), Polly Inglis (30 not out) and captain Felicity Leydon-Davis (25 not out) saw Otago Sparks get home with six wickets and four balls to spare in their last clash with Central Hinds. Gain hit seven boundaries in her previous innings and is in fine T20 form.

OS-W Team Bowling

Otago Sparks have taken 19 wickets from their last two matches but will probably find the wickets do not fall quite as quickly against Canterbury Magicians at Hagley Oval. 21 year old medium pacer Emma Black took five wickets (1-14 and 4-15) across the last two Super Smash fixtures.

OS-W Team Form

Otago Sparks are targeting their third successive victory in the competition in this match.
