It’s been a disappointing Super Smash season for the Central Hinds, with just one victory and seven losses to their name. Their most recent defeat, a 45-run loss to the Canterbury Magicians, has only added to the pressure as they attempt to improve their poor net run rate of -1.003 and find some form in their remaining games.
Hollie Armitage has been the standout performer for the Hinds, scoring 247 runs in seven matches at a strike rate of 104. However, her absence in the previous game raises uncertainty about her availability for this fixture. Meanwhile, the rest of the batting lineup has struggled to provide consistent support. All-rounder Hannah Rowe has been a bright spot, contributing 121 runs in the middle order at a strike rate of 83.
Rowe has also impressed with the ball, taking 10 wickets in seven matches at an economy rate of 7.03. Claudia Green has been reliable with the new ball, picking up nine wickets in eight games while maintaining an economy rate of 5.24. The bowling unit is further supported by Jessica Ogden and Ocean Bartlett, adding some depth to their attack.

Auckland Hearts have had a mixed season so far, securing four wins but also facing four losses. However, they seem to have found some rhythm lately with back-to-back victories. Their latest triumph was against Wellington Women, where they defended a target of 160 at Auckland with ease.

Lauren Down has also contributed consistently, scoring 254 runs at the same strike rate. Opener Isabella Gaze has added 143 runs in eight innings, providing stability and anchoring the innings when needed.
On the bowling front, Fran Jonas has been their standout, taking 11 wickets in nine matches while maintaining an economy rate of 6.32. Bree Illing and Josie Penfold have chipped in as well, collectively claiming 11 wickets, giving the Hearts a dependable and balanced bowling attack.

Batters can expect good carry and bounce at McLean Park in Napier, especially early on. Fast bowlers could extract some initial zip, but the pitch is anticipated to flatten out as the day progresses. Spin bowlers might become more effective later, relying on accuracy rather than prodigious turn. Overall, conditions seem set for an entertaining, potentially high-scoring contest.
The weather in Napier will be sunny to partly cloudy. Overall, the conditions will be pleasant with no rain on the cards.
The team batting first at McLean Park in Napier has put up scores of 139-7 and 119 in this year’s Women’s Super Smash. Expect a good balanced surface for this match with the team batting first eyeing a score of around 140-150.
This venue usually favors the team chasing and we reckon both captains will look to field first here.
This season of the Women’s Super Smash has been a struggle for the Central Hinds, who sit at the bottom of the table with just one win in nine matches. In contrast, the Auckland Hearts are performing far better, holding third place with four wins and as many losses. The Hearts have already defeated the Hinds earlier this season and come into this match with back-to-back wins. Considering their current form, Auckland Hearts seem well-positioned to take this one.
Back Auckland Hearts to emerge victorious in this match.
