Otago Sparks Women vs Wellington Blaze Women Chances of Winning

Otago Sparks Women secured a spot in the final at the end of their campaign in the group stage with a victory over Northern Brave Women. It was a rather straightforward outing where the latter were asked to bat first and they posted 127 runs on the board. Since this was an easily attainable score, Otago Sparks Women did not have to push themselves too much - even though they lost four wickets, skipper Hayley Jensen helped get the team over the line with an unbeaten 49 and valuable contributions from the others.

Wellington Blaze Women were on tenterhooks at the end of the group stage since they had a loss and a match which ended without a result prior to the eliminator. In the eliminator, they took on Northern Brave Women to vie for an appearance in the final, and it turned out to be a piece of cake. Despite Wellington Blaze Women’s low score of 133, Northern Brave Women had a tough time chasing it down and ended up getting bundled out for 110. This gave the Amelia Kerr-led side a 23-run triumph.

Otago Sparks Women vs Wellington Blaze Women Betting Tips

Wellington Blaze Women to score low before first dismissal

Amelia Kerr has done most of the work for Wellington Blaze Women’s opening order while her partner, Rebecca Burns, has weighed them down with inconsistent performances. During the five games leading up to this fixture, there was precisely one match where the openers notched up a competitive partnership, having secured totals of 23, 27, 9, 104* and 12. Since their scores have been overwhelmingly on the lower side, the same is expected of them for the upcoming match as well.

Otago Sparks Women vs Wellington Blaze Women Toss Prediction

A total of six games were hosted at Basin Reserve during the group stage this season out of which the teams batting first had the edge with three wins, while those chasing took two victories and one game was abandoned.

The toss winners also prefer to bat first despite that, having opted to do so four out of six times. It will remain the top choice for the next fixture, too.
