- Northern Superchargers Women, with Annabel Sutherland’s 215 runs and Linsey Smith’s leading 15 wickets from 2024, are formidable, especially at home, and their 2-1 head-to-head record adds confidence.
- However, Fire’s batting depth and recent form make them likely to win a close contest, potentially by 10-15 runs or 3-5 wickets if chasing, as per expert predictions.
