It’s Match 22 of the 2019/20 Women’s Super Smash which has been taking place in New Zealand alongside the Men’s Super Smash competition. The women’s competition has been generating an equal amount of buzz and so far, it’s been a perfect season for Wellington Blaze Women, with 7 wins in 7 games and no one else near them on the Women’s Super Smash points table.
They have another go today as they lock horns with Northern Spirit Women in the only game scheduled for 3rd January. Spirit has had a poor season so far, with 2 wins in 6 games and they will be hoping the new year brings them better results starting from this game.

Numbers
- Last 5 games head to head, Wellington Women lead 3-2.
- In the reverse fixture, Wellington Women won by 79 runs.
- JM Kerr – 18 wickets in 7 games so far this tournament.
- Eimear Richardson – only 1 wicket in her 6 games so far.
Wellington Blaze Women
I’d start by going heavy on Wellington bowlers as the top two bowlers of the tournament are both from this team. JM Kerr is the tournament leader with 18 scalps while a fair bit behind her is Deanna Doughty who has 12 wickets in 7 games, going wicketless in just one match so far. With a good winning run, we don’t expect Wellington Women to make any changes in their side.
Sophie Devine had a fabulous Women’s Big Bash League and began a bit slower here. However, she’s been contributing a bit more in recent games and now has 199 runs to go with 10 wickets in 7 games. With all her experience, you can pick her as your fantasy side captain. Young Amelia Kerr is another all-round option who is a good pick as captain, with 139 runs and 10 wickets and having game changing abilities too.
Northern Spirit Women
On the other hand, this side has failed to take wickets, with their top bowler Charlotte Sarsfield having 6 wickets in 4 games. However, I’ll skip her since she has only 1 in her last 2 games and instead, I’ll pick LH Heaps who also has 0 wickets in her last 2 games, but 6 overall and much less fantasy league popularity. This side also may be unchanged, with the chance of Ema Baker replacing Lucy Boucher.
Captain Felicity Leydon-Davis is worth having in your Howzat (sign-up with code “READ1234”) fantasy team as she has all-round abilities, with 169 runs and 3 wickets in 6 games so far. Another player with all-round capabilities is Eimear Richardson, though she hasn’t performed at all this season, with just 59 runs. However, she’s a match winner when she plays for her national side Ireland.
