Northern Brave vs Canterbury Magicians Super Smash Women T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips

NB-W vs CM-W T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Super Smash Women 2022

Northern Brave Women will take on Canterbury Magicians at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium. Match 1 of the 2022- 23 Women’s Super Smash gets underway at 15:00 local time on Friday 23rd December.

Northern Brave

The 2021-22 Women’s Super Smash was a campaign to forget for Northern Brave Women who won only one match and finished bottom of the table with four points. Their only victory came over Central Hinds who only picked up two victories themselves. A win for Northern Brave would be a surprise in this opening game.

NB-W Batting

With only one victory across the entire campaign, scoring competitive totals was a problem throughout for Northern Brave Women. Caitlin Gurrey was their highest run scorer but hit only one half-century. She is also expected to be their main run scorer in this game.

NB-W Bowling

Medium pacer, Nensi Patel, was Northern Brave Women’s most impressive bowler last season and, with cloudy conditions expected in Mount Maunganui, she could well be tough to face. International all-rounder Brooke Halliday has been in strong form in one-day cricket, taking 4-41 against Otago last month.

NB-W Form

Northern Brave Women ended last season’s tournament with four successive defeats.

Canterbury Magicians

The Magicians finished four points and one win away from the end of season finals in this competition and will be looking to go one step further this time. Playing against a weak Northern Brave Women side, this presents an excellent opportunity to get off to a winning start.

CM-W Batting

Experienced top order batter Amy Satterthwaite will be the wicket that Northern Brave Women will want to take early in this game. Satterthwaite was the only player to hit a century in the tournament last year and only two players scored more runs than her across the competition.

CM-W Bowling

After taking 14 wickets from 10 games in the 2021-22 Women’s Super Smash, all eyes will be on 21 year old Melissa Banks to see if she can back up her breakthrough campaign. Alongside Banks, we expect Satterthwaite to bowl her full four overs and to get some turn from the surface.

CM-W Form

Canterbury Magicians lost three of their last four games in the 2021-22 campaign, a run of form which cost them a place in the finals.
