Central Hinds Preview
Central Hinds’ season has been a disaster so far, with three defeats on the bounce. They will need a miraculous turnaround from here to save their campaign. They are coming off a 25-run loss to Wellington Blaze, where they were bowled out for a mere 89 chasing a modest target of 115.
Hollie Armitage has been the Hinds’ shining light this season, accumulating 96 runs in 3 innings at an average of 48 and a strike rate of 96.
Rosemary Mair has been the next best batter with 41 crucial runs down the order. However, the rest of the top and middle order needs to step up if they hope to turn things around. It’s not like the Hinds lack talent. They have the likes of Thamsyn Newton, Hannah Rowe, and Mikaela Greig, who are more than capable of delivering standout performances.
The bowling has been a little better, with Ocean Bartlett leading the way with 5 wickets in 3 innings at an economy of 6.65. Rosemary Mair and Hannah Rowe, with 4 wickets each, provide additional options to strengthen the attack and deliver crucial breakthroughs. Claudia Green and Flora Devonshire are handy options for keeping things tight.
Central Hinds Predicted Playing XI:
Hollie Armitage, Emma McLeod, Thamsyn Newton, Hannah Rowe, Mikaela Greig (c), Flora Devonshire, Georgia Atkinson, Rosemary Mair, Kate Gaging (wk), Claudia Green, Ocean Bartlett

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The Basin Reserve's pitch has been showing extra bounce lately, particularly in the morning sessions. Seamers should find good carry through to the keeper, while the short square boundaries make cross-bat shots tempting. The recent dry spell has left the surface firm, though the breeze whipping in from the north could make timing tricky through the off-side.
The weather in Wellington will be partly sunny and breezy with no forecast of rains during the game.
WB-W vs CH-W Pitch Report
The average score batting first at the Basin Reserve in women’s T20s is 144. Since this is the first match of the tournament to be played at the venue, the wicket is likely to be better for batting.
Toss: To Bowl
Four of the six women’s T20Is played at the Basin Reserve have been won by the side chasing. This suggests that the venue is great for chasing totals and both teams might be tempted to field first as a result.
WB-W vs CH-W
Winning Prediction
The Wellington Blaze have been on fire in the Women's Super Smash, securing victories in their first two matches. On the flip side, the Central Hinds are struggling, having dropped their last three contests, one of which was to Wellington. The Hinds' batting has been lackluster, and they'll need a big effort to overcome the Blaze, a team they haven't beaten in their last five meetings. Given how things have shaped up, putting your money on Wellington Blaze seems like a smart bet.
We are backing Wellington Blaze as the winners of this contest.
