It has been a tough start to the Women's Burger King Super Smash for the Central District Hinds and their Whanganui White Fern Jessica Watkin.
The Hinds had their third defeat in a row this afternoon at New Plymouth's Pukekura Park, beaten by eight wickets against the Wellington Blaze.
Batting first, the Hinds were restricted to 100-8 from their 20 overs, with Watkin caught out early for five from 11 balls.
The Blaze reached 104-2 at the start of the 18th over, as Watkin finished with 0-20 from her four overs of spin.
She was not in the Hinds lineup that was beaten by Auckland by four wickets at Pukekura Park on Saturday.
