Northern Braves Women
Northern Braves will lock horns with Canterbury Magicians, in the thirteenth match of the Women’s Super Smash 2021. Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui will host this fixture. Braves have had a disappointing campaign so far with every match lost that they played and are currently placed at the bottom of the table with four losses and 0 points.
They played their last match against Auckland Women where batting first they posted a target of 103 runs. The whole batting lineup failed and couldn’t jot down runs against the Auckland bowlers. Caitlin Gurrey was the only batsman who managed to score a decent score of 34 Runs. While defending such a low total the bowlers seemed blunt. Brooke Halliday took two scalps while Shriya Naidu, LH Heaps, and Nensi Patel managed to take a single wicket each.
Their performance in the tournament so far has been average and low-scoring. Their average score in four matches is around 106 runs where most of the time the batting lineup has collapsed and the bowlers failed to contain the opposition and pick wickets at regular intervals. Currently, they need a serious strategy alternate to bring them on the winning route.

- Kate Anderson– 78 Runs in 4 Matches, 93.97 Strike Rate

Canterbury Magicians Women
Canterbury Magicians are placed fourth in the points table with just a win out of three matches they have played so far. They lost their first fixture in the tournament against Wellington by 44 Runs. The only win they managed came against Central Hinds by a margin of 6 wickets.
However, they lost their last match against Wellington Blaze. Batting first Wellington posted a target of 142 runs at the end of 20 overs. In return, while batting Frances Mackay scored an unbeaten half-century but could not take her side to win. There was no batter who could manage to score and wickets kept falling at regular intervals.
Their campaign so far has not been indifferent to Northern braves where they are facing the same problem of batting collapse and too much dependence on key players.
