TEAMS PREVIEW
Auckland Hearts Preview
Auckland Hearts have done particularly poorly in this season of Women's Super Smash. They have played seven games so far and have managed to win just two, with one no result. With 10 points in seven games, they are currently placed second last in the points table. A win in the remaining three games might not be enough to secure a place in the playoffs.
After a no-result in the first match against Northern Brave, Auckland Hearts lost their first match against Otago Sparks by 7 wickets with about 5 overs to spare. It was a batting failure for Auckland Hearts as they scored just 110 batting first. In the next game, the Auckland Hearts had their first win by 7 runs (DLS method) against Canterbury Magicians.
In a rain-shortened game, Auckland Hearts scored 122 batting first. It was yet again a below-par performance with the bat. However, their bowling helped stop Canterbury Magicians for 111 runs. Fran Jonas took three wickets for 13 runs in four overs. Auckland Hearts lost the next two games against Canterbury Magicians and Northern Brave by 9 wickets and 13 runs respectively. In the 6th game, they had a win against Central Hinds, who are currently at the bottom of the table, by 9 runs.
In the previous game against Wellington Blaze, Auckland Hearts could not chase down a low total of 135. Bowling first they restricted Wellington Blaze for 134 but the batting failed yet again to get to the target. Batting is a real worry for Auckland Hearts. Saachi Shahri is their top run scorer in the last 7 games and she has just 55 runs to show for it. It looks almost impossible for this Auckland Hearts unit to defeat the table toppers Otago Sparks.

Otago Sparks have come out as the strongest team of the tournament so far with 6 wins in 8 games. They are currently at the top of the table with 24 points. This is a great opportunity for Otago Sparks to strengthen their position at the top with a win against lowly placed Auckland Hearts.

In the next game, a close one against Central Hinds. Otago Sparks won by 1 wicket with just a ball remaining.
The next three wins were as comprehensive as it gets. A win by 15 run against Canterbury Magicians, another win against Central Hinds by four wickets and a seven-wicket win against second-placed Wellington Blaze. The winning run ended with a 7-wicket loss against Northern Brave in their 7th game.

Otago Sparks are hunting as a unit and it should be an easy win for them against Auckland Hearts.
