Auckland Hearts are favorites to win
Central Hinds will take on Auckland Hearts at Pukekura Park, New Plymouth. Match 11 of the 2022-23 Women’s Super Smash gets underway at 11:00 local time on Thursday 5th January.
After three games in this season’s competition, Central Hinds are still searching for their first victory. After heavy defeats against Wellington Blaze and Canterbury Magicians, Central Hinds were only beaten by four runs by Northern Brave Women on New Year’s Eve.
Runs from opener Georgia Atkinson, number three Jess Watkin and 50 from Hannah Rowe looked to have set Central Hinds on target for their first win of the tournament against Northern Brave Women. However, their last four wickets produced only 16 runs and the top order will need to deliver the runs in this match.
Central Hinds picked up eight wickets with the ball in their last match at Pukekura Park and the bowling attack will be confident of causing Auckland Hearts problems in this game. Opening bowler, Claudia Green, took 3-23 in the last fixture and has five wickets in the tournament.
Central Hinds have not won any of their last four games in the Women’s Super Smash.
With one win and two defeats in the 2022-23 Women’s Super Smash so far, Auckland Hearts come into this game in fifth place in the table. They are one win away from going up to the top three and will come into this game expecting to beat Central Hinds.
The opening pair of Saachi Shahri and Anna Browning put on 48 runs from the first seven overs in the defeat against Otago Sparks and they performed to a far higher level than any of the other batters in the match. Captain Lauren Down will be looking to contribute again after hitting 44 not out earlier in the tournament.
Auckland Hearts’ bowlers had a tough afternoon against Otagao Sparks with Suzie Bates in particularly strong form at the top of the order. 18 year old international spinner Fran Jonas was the standout bowler for Hearts and we expect to see her add to her five wickets so far in the competition in this fixture.
Auckland Hearts have won one and lost three of their last four games in this competition.
The match will be played at Pukekura Park, New Plymouth. There is plenty of life in this pitch with seam and spin bowlers likely to get a lot of assistance from the surface.
