Match Preview

Wellington Blaze Women are hosting the Otago Sparks Women in their next fixture of the Hallyburton Johnstone Shield 2020-21 season. Both the teams are at the bottom of the table and have already lost all the chances to qualify for the knockout stage. Blaze have won only two games throughout the season and are coming off three defeats in a row. They defeated Otago Sparks on both occasions in the last season. However, with all their international players coming back to the team, they have a chance of finishing the season with a win.

On the other side, it hasn’t been a season to remember for the Sparks. They have lost each and every match in the season so far. They don’t have good records against the Blaze recently as well. They would like to do well in the remaining matches and finish the season with two wins against the Blaze.

Weather Report & Pitch Condition

It will be another great day for a cricket match. The sky will remain clear throughout the day with the temperature hovering around 16-18 degree celsius. There are no chances of rain as well.

By considering the men’s game played at this venue we can expect a high scoring game in this fixture. The pitch doesn’t change much in the second innings and should be a brilliant track to bat on. The team winning the toss should bat second.
