The Super Smash roared to life this weekend, delivering a thrilling 48 hours of action-packed T20 Cricket with centuries, fierce bowling, and tight finishes.

Wellington is on fire in both codes! Melie Kerr’s maiden five-wicket bag and Tim Robinson’s near-century powered the Wellington Blaze and Firebirds to victories, solidifying their top spots in the Dream11 Super Smash.

Kerr, the Blaze’s fiery force: The WHITE FERNS star dazzled with an unbeaten 77* and a brutal 5/10, leading the Blaze to a 47-run win over the Canterbury Magicians.

Robinson’s near-miss ton: The Firebirds captain smashed 86 off 46 balls before falling just short of his second century this summer. Nick Kelly’s unbeaten 72* sealed a 21-run win against the Canterbury Kings.

Young’s century reignites Stags: After three years, Will Young repeated his Dream11 Super Smash feat with a masterful 101*, carrying the Central Stags to victory against the Otago Volts. Suzie Bates’ unbeaten 52* led the Otago Sparks to another win over the Central Hinds.
