CH-W vs WB-W, Women’s Super Smash 2023-24: Match Prediction, Dream11 Team, Fantasy Tips & Pitch Report | Central Hinds vs Wellington Blaze

In what promises to be an exciting showdown in the Women’s Super Smash 2023-24, Central Hinds are set to lock horns with Wellington Blaze in Match 17 at McLean Park in Napier on January 07.

Central Hinds, coming off a frustrating encounter against Canterbury Magicians where the match was ultimately abandoned, will be eager to make amends in their upcoming fixture. Weather conditions played spoilsport in their last game, denying both teams an opportunity to showcase their skills on the field. With a point shared from the abandoned fixture, Central Hinds will be looking to gain a full two points against Wellington Blaze.

Wellington Blaze, on the other hand, enter the contest on the back of a convincing victory over Auckland Hearts. In their previous match, Wellington successfully chased down the target set by Auckland Hearts, securing a five-wicket win. The victory demonstrated the team’s resilience and batting prowess, boosting their confidence as they face Central Hinds in the upcoming clash.
