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

Central Hinds will take on Otago Sparks at the Saxton Oval, Nelson. Match 20 of the 2022-23 Women’s Super Smash gets underway at 11:00 local time on Saturday 20th January.

Central Hinds

Coming into this their seventh game of the tournament, Central Hinds are still searching for their first victory of the season. All six matches have ended in defeat with their most recent loss by seven wickets against Auckland Aces last Saturday. This is their first fixture against Otago Sparks in this campaign.

CH-W Batting

Central Hinds have lost only 10 wickets across their last three matches but have lost all of the games. They have even posted useful totals, such as 148-2 against Wellington Blaze, but have still not been able to defend it. They have reliable batters who need to score at a quicker rate to help out their bowling attack.

CH-W Bowling

Central Hinds’ bowlers have struggled to pick up enough wickets to really trouble the opposition batting line-ups and the lack of dismissals have meant the teams can gradually increase their run rate. Right arm medium bowler, Hannah Rowe, has taken six wickets from her last four matches.

CH-W Form

Including one match from last season’s Super Smash, it is now seven games without a win for Central Hinds.

Otago Sparks

With one game ending as a no-result, three defeats and two wins, Otago Sparks come into this match in fourth place, level on points with third place Auckland Aces. The Sparks have not won either of their last two games and were beaten by top of the table Wellington Blaze in their last match.

OS-W Batting

After winning the toss and choosing to bat against Wellington, Suzie Bates produced a masterclass of batting as she hit 75 runs from 56 balls in Otago Sparks’ total of 127-9. The knock followed up her innings of 76 from 59 balls against Auckland Aces in her previous innings.

OS-W Bowling

31 year old medium pacer, Kate Ebrahim, has been Otago Sparks’ most consistent bowler throughout the tournament and has the game to be a success on this pitch in Nelson. She went wicketless in the first game of the season but has since picked up nine wickets from five games.

OS-W Form

Otago Sparks began the season in reasonable form but have won only one of their last four games.
