Match Details:

The 25th Match of the Hallyburton Johnstone Shield 2020-21 will be played between Wellington Blaze and Otago Sparks on 13th March at Basin Reserve in Wellington.

The match is scheduled to start at 2:30 AM IST and 10:00 AM Local Time. 

Preview:

Wellington Blaze Women are hosting the Otago Sparks Women in their next fixture of the Hallyburton Johnstone Shield 2020-21 season. Both the teams are at the bottom of the table and have already lost all the chances to qualify for the knockout stage. Blaze have won only two games throughout the season and are coming off three defeats in a row. They defeated Otago Sparks on both occasions in the last season. However, with all their international players coming back to the team, they have a chance of finishing the season with a win.

On the other side, it hasn’t been a season to remember for the Sparks. They have lost each and every match in the season so far. They don’t have good records against the Blaze recently as well. They would like to do well in the remaining matches and finish the season with two wins against the Blaze.
