With little form or head-to-head history on record, Auckland Hearts and Wellington Blaze start on level terms, and the toss and team news could decide it.
The toss could matter here. Chasing has been the better option at this ground, so the captain who calls right may well choose to bowl first. We expect a first-innings score of around 280, and anything well above that should put the batting side in control.

AH-W vs WBL Pitch Report
Eden Park Outer Oval, Auckland
Conditions at Eden Park Outer Oval have been fairly balanced, with neither bat nor ball on top.
Across the last 40 WList A matches here, the side batting first has averaged 283, with chasing teams averaging 230. Batting first, a side will want something around 270-300 on the board. Results have been evenly split: 22 wins for the side batting first and 18 for the chasers.
First-innings totals here have ranged from 168 to 392 in that time.
Wickets have been shared between pace and spin here: 59% to the seamers and 41% to the spinners. Seamers have gone at 6.21 an over and spinners at 6.80, so the quicker bowlers have been harder to get away.
With humidity around 80% later in the evening, dew is likely to make the ball skid on and harder to grip in the second innings. With cloud expected, the new ball could do a bit, so the top order will need to be careful. Toss call: bowl first and chase.
