The Auckland Hearts will take on the Canterbury Magicians in the 20th match of the Women’s Super Smash. Eden Park Outer Oval in Auckland will host this exciting contest.

The Auckland Hearts suffered a loss against the Otago Sparks in their last game. Batting first, the Sparks posted 153 on the board in their 20 overs. The Hearts failed to adapt to the conditions as they only managed to score 108, losing the game by 45 runs. They will be hoping for a much-improved performance in their next fixture.

The Canterbury Magicians, on the other hand, defeated the Central Hinds in their previous game. After electing to bowl first, the Magicians did a fine job of restricting the Hinds to 112. The batters then stepped up and backed up their bowlers to chase down the total with nine wickets in hand.

They will be riding with confidence after that five-wicket win and will look to carry the winning momentum forward.
