CH-W vs OS-W Match Prediction & Analysis
Central Hinds will take on Otago Sparks for the second time this season. In their last encounter against Otago, Mikaela Greg-led Hinds finished with 89 for 9 batting first.
However, it wasn’t a one-sided affair as Hinds gave a tough fight in that match picking up 9 wickets while defending such a low total. Hannah Rowe, Rosemary Mair, and Flora Devonshire were among the top performers with the ball.
While Otago Sparks bounced back in the very next game scoring 150 runs while batting first against Canterbury, Central Hinds’ poor run of form continued as they were bowled out for 89 runs against Wellington in their next match.
Otago Sparks will be confident of making it 2-0 against the Hinds as they come into this match on the back of 3 consecutive wins. They’ve got a strong middle-order and an in-form bowling attack.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Central Hinds Preview
The bowlers delivered praiseworthy performances in their first two losses. They picked up 9 wickets against Otago while defending 89 and restricted Wellington to 114 for 8 bowling first in the next match.
However, since then, both batting and bowling have been out of form as there are not enough runs on the board and the bowlers have struggled to pick wickets while defending 113 and 112 in the last two outings.
Opening batter Hollie Armitage has looked promising with scores of 47 and 61 in her last two outings, but couldn’t find from others in this batting lineup. Skipper Mikaela Greg opened the innings in the last match after having struggled in the middle order in previous outings.
Nonetheless, it did not make much of a difference and she was out for a duck. Thamsyn Newton and Hannah Rowe are other key players in the middle order who haven’t been able to get going.
While Flora Devonshire looked decent in the lower middle order she was not enough. Central Hinds need a big comeback. They need their key players to deliver big knocks and build game-changing partnerships.
Rosemary Mair, Ocean Bartlett, and Devonshire will be the key bowlers to watch out for in this squad. Though they’ve all struggled to find wickets in recent games, they’ve got the potential to change the game.
Central Hinds Predicted Playing XI:
Hollie Armitage, Mikaela Greig (c), Thamsyn Newton, Kerry-Anne Tomlinson, Flora Devonshire, Georgia Atkinson, Rosemary Mair, Kate Gaging (wk), Claudia Green, Ocean Bartlett, Aniela Apperley

Otago Sparks Preview
Otago Sparks will be looking for a fourth straight win as they come to Palmerston North for their second game against Central Hinds. They will be glad to have bounced back from their batting collapse against Central Hinds the last time the two teams met.
Olivia Gain and Caitlin Blakely led the batting effort with a crucial partnership in the middle order. The experienced Suzie Bates is struggling to find form at the top of the order.
Her opening partner Bella James looks promising but needs to convert her starts into something more significant if Sparks are to carry their winning momentum ahead.
They’ve got Polly Inglis and Felicity Leydon-Davis in the lower middle order who can deliver crucial runs at the death and ensure a good finish for the Sparks.
Otago’s biggest strength lies in their bowling attack. Eden Carson, player of the match against Central Hinds, will be one to watch out for. In addition, the likes of Emma Black, Kristie Gordon, and Hayley Jensen are also very consistent with their bowling returns.
Overall, Otago Sparks pack a strong punch and will pose a tough challenge to the Hinds who are looking for their first win of the Women’s Super Smash 2024-25 season.
Otago Sparks Predicted Playing XI:
Suzie Bates, Bella James, Olivia Gain, Caitlin Blakely, Polly Inglis (wk), Felicity Leydon-Davis, Anna Browning, Hayley Jensen (c), Kristie Gordon, Emma Black, Eden Carson

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
There will be scattered showers in Palmerston North on the match day with a high of 17 degrees Celsius. There is a prediction for rain showers around the match time too and we think it will affect the match. There is a slight chance that the game will be abandoned.
CH-W vs OS-W Pitch Report
It seems like a good batting wicket with an average 1st innings score of 176 runs in the last 5 matches played here. In the two Women’s Super Smash games played here, 1st innings totals of 141 and 155 were successfully defended on this ground. We reckon anything around 160 or more will be a match-winning score in this game.
Toss: To Bowl
Teams batting first have won 4 of the 5 matches played at this venue. There have been just two Women’s Super Smash games here and both went in favor of the team batting first. Considering the batting form of Hinds, we reckon, they’d be in a better position batting first than chasing a total.
CH-W vs OS-W
Winning Prediction
Rain is likely to play spoilsport in this match. We can lose some overs and in the worst-case scenario, the game could be abandoned. Nevertheless, if we get some cricket on the match day, it will be the in-form Otago Sparks that will have the upper hand in this contest given their current form and bowling strength.
