– Going heavy on Canterbury Magicians Women as they’re the favourites to win this match.

– Taking punt on Charlotte Sarsfield who’s due to take wickets this season which might come in this match.
– Can go with Amy Satterthwaite as VC in risky SL as she’s opening up the innings and bowling 2-3 overs too.
