The stage is all set for a riveting clash as Wellington Blaze and Central Hinds gear up to square off against each other in the 22nd match of Women’s Super Smash 2023-24. The Basin Reserve in Wellington is set to host this highly anticipated encounter.
It is worth mentioning that these two teams have already crossed paths earlier in the competition, where the Wellington-based side emerged triumphant in a convincing display of skill and strategy.
As both these sides now prepare to face each other once again, Wellington Blaze will be riding on the wave of confidence generated by their recent victory. In contrast, Central Hinds, unfortunately, enters the match on the back of a loss and is undoubtedly eager to redeem themselves.
