OS-W vs NBW-W Match Prediction & Analysis
There is a clear top and bottom of the Women's Super Smash table ahead of match 16 with Central Hinds still winless after five games but Otago Sparks on 20 points!
Six points cover the other four sides although Wellington Blaze have won three games compared to Auckland Hearts who have only picked up one victory as yet.
In this match, the toss could be crucial as both teams have looked far more comfortable chasing but there are some very capable cricketers on both sides who could yet win the match when defending a total.
All in all, Dunedin looks to be in for a treat when it hosts this game on Thursday.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Otago Sparks Preview
Otago Sparks recorded another win in this 2024/25 Women's Super Smash when they went to Wellington and returned home after a seven wicket victory with eight balls remaining. The win was setup by the bowling attack who restricted Wellington Blaze to 109/9 although the fielders should also take the credit after four batters were run-out!
Standing out with the ball in match 14 was Kirstie Gordon who took 2/13 from her four overs with Emma Black (1/22) and Hayley Jensen (1/25) also impressing.
With a target of 110, Otago Sparks played within themselves yet still got over the line before the conclusion of the 19th over! Caitlin Blakey hit an unbeaten half-century and has scored over 100 runs across his last three innings.
Otago Sparks Predicted Playing XI:
Suzie Bates, Bella James, Olivia Gain, Caitlin Blakely, Polly Inglis (wk), Hayley Jensen (c), Felicity Leydon-Davis, Anna Browning, Kirstie Gordon, Eden Carson, Emma Black

Northern Brave Preview
Any T20 team in the world who has Chamari Athapaththu and Amanda-Jade Wellington in their side will always have a chance of victory and it was no surprise to see both players step up with bat and ball in Northern Brave's win against Auckland Hearts in match 13.
Athapaththu is one of the best female cricketers that Sri Lanka have ever produced and she has the ability to win any game with performances in both innings. Against Auckland Hearts she finished with the highest score and the best bowling figures for Brave so she will be a key player once again in this match.
Wellington will also be a threat with the ball in this game and she hit 36 from number six in the last match as well! Northern Brave have depth to their batting as well as a bowling attack who all dismissed at least one batter in their last game.
Northern Brave Predicted Playing XI:
Jess Watkin, Chamari Athapaththu, Caitlin Gurrey, Nensi Patel, Marina Lamplough, Amanda-Jade Wellington, Carol Agafili, Sam Curtis, Holly Topp (wk), Marama Downes, Shriya Naidu

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Humidity levels will be high throughout this match and although the temperature will not go above 16 degrees, it could be sticky in the outfield! There is no forecast of any rain interrupting this game.
OS-W vs NBW-W Pitch Report
There is always plenty of green grass not only on the outfield in Dunedin but on the wicket as well. As a result, there is much assistance for the quick bowlers if they put the ball in the right areas. A par score is likely to be around 135.
Toss: To Bowl
This will be the first game of this edition of the Women's Super Smash in Dunedin so we do not have any recent T20 data to go off. However, both teams have had most success when bowling first so we expect both to want to bowl if they win the toss.
OS-W vs NBW-W
Winning Prediction
Northern Brave will certainly give Otago Sparks a good contest in this match and with Chamari Athapaththu in strong form it would be silly to completely write off the visitor's chances. However, Otago have been unstoppable across their last five games and we expect them to make it six victories in a row.
We are backing Otago Sparks to win!
