Match Details:
The 14th match of the Hallyburton Johnstone Sheild 2020-21 will be played between the Otago Women and the Central Districts Women at the University Oval Ground in Dunedin.
The match is scheduled to start at 10:00 AM Local Time (02:30 AM IST).
Preview:
It will be an interesting game of cricket to watch when a top-performing team of the Hallyburton Johnstone Shield 2020/21 will be taking on a team that has arguably not done well at all during their matches so far. On one hand, we have the flamboyant Central Districts women and on the other, we will have the Otago Women, a team that has struggled to win even a single game so far.
The Central Districts women have played in 4 matches so far and have won 3 of those, earning the second spot in the table. Their opponents, Otago Women are pitted at the bottom of the table, having failed to win even a single game so far. So, both the teams will be coming in with very different morales in this game, but a win will bring in an equally important impact in the game.
