CM-W vs NRD-W Match Prediction & Analysis
Whenever top faces bottom in any sport, there is plenty of interest as neutral observers watch to see if a giant-killing surprise narrative will unfold!
This will be no different, as not only are the teams at separate ends of the Hallyburton Johnstone Shield Trophy table, but their form could also not be any more poles apart.
Canterbury Magicians continued their poor run of results with a four wicket loss against Wellington in their last match while Northern Districts were way too strong for Auckland, emerging with a 117 run triumph!
Stranger things have happened in sport but everything points towards a very one-sided clash on Saturday.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Canterbury Magicians Preview
A lack of runs cost Canterbury Magicians in their last game with only Izzy Sharp, batting at number four, able to make more than 18 across their batting card against Wellington.
Sharp went on to hit 67 out of the team total of 151 and she, along with skipper Kate Anderson at the top of the order, are likely to be the main run-getters for the hosts.
The total of 151 all out followed being bowled out for 136 in their previous fixture, so scoring runs continues to be a real issue for Canterbury Magicians this season.
Bowling wise, Gabby Sullivan has impressed in recent games as has Sarah Asmussen.
Canterbury Magicians Predicted Playing XI:
Kate Anderson (c), Abigale Gerken (wk), Kate Chandler, Izzy Sharp, Jodie Dean, Kate Irwin, Melissa Banks, Abigail Hotton, Gabby Sullivan, Yssa Cullen, Sarah Asmussen

Northern Districts Women Preview
Northern Districts Women have strength in depth across their side and they will come into this game with bags of confidence across their batting and bowling units.
Caitlin Gurrey was run out for 99 in their last win in this competition so we expect her to be determined to right that wrong in this match. Opener Jess Watkin and keeper-batter Holly Topp are also in strong batting form.
The bowling unit for Northern Districts Women is particularly strong across their opening and first change pair. Watkin took 3/24 last time out while also contributing two maidens with Nensi Patel also chipping in with three wickets.
Northern Districts will take some stopping on Saturday!
Northern Districts Women Predicted Playing XI:
Jess Watkin (c), Yasmeen Kareem, Tash Wakelin, Caitlin Gurrey, Nensi Patel, Eve Wolland, Marina Lamplough, Holly Topp (wk), Skye Bowden, Marama Downes, Kayley Knight

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The conditions will be typical late summer in Christchurch with some sporadic clouds and the temperature between 17 and 23 degrees across the game. Humidity levels will also be high.
CM-W vs NRD-W Pitch Report
Hagley Oval always has a tinge of grass on the surface to begin proceedings and the pace bowlers will look to exploit it. Once that goes away, expect a good batting wicket with a par score around 300.
Toss: To Bowl
Due to Northern Districts' strength with the bat, we expect both teams to choose to bat first if they win the toss ahead of this match on Saturday at Hagley Oval.
