WB-W vs AH-W Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's New Zealand Women’s ODD Match – Feb 21, 2021

In round eight of the New Zealand Women’s ODD, Wellington Blaze will take on the Auckland Hearts on Sunday. The Karori Park in Wellington will be the venue for the fixture.

The two teams have had contrasting runs in the New Zealand Women’s ODD so far. Wellington Blaze haven’t got going and are fifth in the standings. They have won just two out of their seven games and face an uphill task to qualify for the knockouts. Wellington Blaze need to win their remaining three games with bonus points and hope that Auckland Hearts or Central Hinds lose all their games by big margins.

On the other hand, Auckland Hearts have been very consistent throughout the New Zealand Women’s ODD. Although they started the tournament with a couple of losses, they have since won five games in a row. Another win will be enough to seal Auckland's spot in the top-three. However, they will want to extend their winning run and aim for a top-spot finish, which will guarantee them direct entry into the final.

Pitch Report

The 22-yard surface at the Karori Park in Wellington is going to be a good one to bat on. In the last game at the venue, Auckland Hearts smashed 285 while batting first and defended it with ease. There was some movement on offer for the pacers, while the ball turned for the spinners as well. More of the same is expected for Saturday's New Zealand Women’s ODD game.
