WB-W vs NBW-W Match Prediction & Analysis
Northern Brave need a win here to secure their spot in the Eliminator. The home team, on the other hand, has a good chance of making it to the Final. They have a better NRR than the top-placed team and a win here will have them tied with Otago Women with 28 points each.
They have won 3 of their 4 home games and will back themselves to continue this dominance at the Basin Reserve. Northern Brave face Wellington for the second time this season. The last time the two teams met, Northern Brave lost by 4 runs while chasing a 151-run target.
Northern Brave’s opening batter Chamari Athapaththu seems to have found her form and looks in good shape. She will be one to watch out for along with other key middle-order batters who are back in form.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Wellington Blaze Preview
Wellington Blaze feature many strong and reliable batters at key positions including the top-order. The recent loss shouldn’t impact their morale much and we expect the hosts to bounce back in this game.
Amelia Kerr and Rebecca Burns are among the key batters in this lineup. Burns has been in great form and can make a huge impact on the game. While the captain hasn’t scored at a great strike rate, she’s been consistent at the top.
Matilan Brown and Jess Kerr are among other consistent players for Wellington in the batting lineup. These two will back themselves to go all guns blazing at their home venue in Wellington.
Sophie Devine hasn’t been in the XI in the recent games but is another experienced campaigner Wellington can rely on. Devine is a key bowler who delivered a fifer against Canterbury in a recent game.
The middle-order batter Brown is also very handy with the ball and can deliver crucial breakthroughs for the home team. Jess Kerr and Xara Jetly are other bowling options for the captain.
Wellington Blaze Predicted Playing XI:
Amelia Kerr (c), Rebecca Burns, Matilan Brown, Jess Kerr, Sophie Devine, Jessica McFayden (wk), Caitlin King, Xara Jetly, Sam Mackinder, Nicole Baird, Natasha Codyre

Northern Brave Preview
Northern Brave clinched a crucial win in their last match against Canterbury to stay alive in the competition. A win here would seal their place in the Eliminator match.
While a loss here won’t knock them out of the race to playoffs, they will be then dependent on the outcome of Auckland’s game against Central Hinds. With the key batters finding their rhythm, skipper Jess Watkin will be confident in her team as they take on a mighty strong Blaze.
Their bowling performance in the last game put them on top. Marama Downes and Sarah Glenn led with breakthroughs while Athapaththu kept things tight with her economical bowling.
Jess Watkin needs to find her rhythm in this game and convert her starts into something more impactful to take her side to a competitive total. Caitlin Gurrey and Nensi Patel were quite impressive in the middle-order and will be key batters to watch out for in this game.
However, we don’t expect them to deliver game-changing knocks against a quality, in-form bowling attack of Wellington Blaze. It will take a great effort from both departments to put the hosts on the back foot in this match.
Northern Brave Predicted Playing XI:
Jess Watkin (c), Chamari Athapaththu, Caitlin Gurrey, Sam Curtis, Nensi Patel, Marina Lamplough, Holly Top (wk), Carol Agafili, Jesse Prasad, Marama Downes, Shriya Naidu

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It will be a cloudy day in Wellington with a high of 19 degrees Celsius. Though there is prediction for rain on the following day, we expect no rain interruptions on the game day. There will be some help for the fast bowlers with the overhead conditions and we will be in for an exciting thriller.
WB-W vs NBW-W Pitch Report
It is a balanced wicket at the Basin Reserve in Wellington that offers plenty of help for the bowlers too. With the weather around, the bowlers could be in for a treat. The average 1st innings score in the last 4 T20s of Women’s Super Smash is 132 runs. For a match-winning score, the team batting first should aim for something over 160-165 runs.
Toss: To Bowl
Teams batting first have won 2 of the 4 matches at this venue in Women’s Super Smash this season. In a crucial game where a spot in the playoffs is at stake, batting first and having runs on the board sounds like a sound strategy.
WB-W vs NBW-W
Winning Prediction
Northern Brave have shown great promise but as far as squad strengths are concerned, Wellington Blaze have the upper hand. They have a great home record and with their key players delivering consistently in every department, Wellington Blaze will have the edge in our match prediction and start as favorites to win.
