Northern Brave Women vs Wellington Blaze Chances of Winning

Northern Brave Women did not make a strong start to their campaign this season since they were put in to bat first in the last outing against Wellington Blaze. The pitch is difficult to score off of, and they wound up with a meager 133-run total. Wicket-keeper batter Holly Topp was the only major contributor as she scored 32 runs, and the rest of the batters did not hit the ground running at all. The Wellington-based side were on the money with the ball, particularly as Natasha Codyre picked an impressive four-wicket haul.

During Wellington Blaze’s chase, opener and skipper Georgia Plimmer led from the front with a 48-run knock and the top order finished the match by themselves. Xara Jetly and Jess Kerr remained not out on 38 and 23, respectively, and the team did their best not to concede too many wickets to their rivals. In the end, they made it over the line with a whopping eight wickets in hand.

Northern Brave Women vs Wellington Blaze Prediction & Tips 2025

Wellington Blaze to score high before first dismissal

Georgia Plimmer and Hannah Francis’ partnership did not take off in the previous game against Northern Brave Women due to the latter’s five-ball duck, resulting in a 11-run stand. However, she was their mainstay opener last season with Jessica McFadyen and the pair added 28, 36 and 23 runs to the first wicket, and Francis was quite proactive in terms of her contribution. They are expected to build on their form and put on a big score in the next match.
