Wellington Blaze are favorites to win
Wellington Blaze will take on Central Hinds at the Cello Basin Reserve. Match 14 of the 2022-23 Women’s Super Smash gets underway at 10:00 local time on Saturday 7th January.
The dominant team of the Women’s Super Smash have continued their form this season with four wins from four games. They have won the tournament seven times previously, are the current holders and won their last match by 59 runs.
Opener Thamsyn Newton hit her highest score in this tournament with 41 from 44 balls against Northern Brave Women. Newton was the only player in the game to hit a six and we expect her and fellow opener Sophie Devine to be the main run scorers in this match.
The quality of Wellington Brave’s bowling line-up was there for all to see in the last match as they restricted Northern Brave Women to 81-9. Sophie Devine took 3-18 and there were plenty of other strong performances across the attack. On this pitch, Brave’s bowlers are very hard to get away.
Wellington Blaze have won all their 15 games in the Women’s Super Smash since the start of the 2021-22 tournament.
It has been another poor start to the season for Central Hinds who have lost games by 10 runs, four runs, eight wickets and 46 runs so far. The 46 run defeat came against Wellington Blaze and Central Hinds know they are nowhere near the same level as the hosts for this match.
Only one player, 30 year old Natalie Dodd, has scored more than 100 runs in the tournament and she, along with Hannah Rowe, are the only two players to have hit half-centuries. On a good batting pitch, both will need to make sic=significant contributions in this match.
Claudia Green and Hannah Rowe have taken 12 of the 19 wickets taken by Central Hinds’ bowlers in this competition. Both should be able to cause batters some problems on this pitch but they will need to be backed up by other bowlers across the innings.
Central Hinds are looking to avoid their sixth successive defeat in the Women’s Super Smash.
The match will be played at the Cello Basin Reserve, Wellington. A par score will be around 140-145 on this pitch which will also provide some movement for the quick bowlers.
