Preview
Wellington Blaze and Otago Sparks will lock horns in the second match of Women's Super Smash 2023-24 at Basin Reserve in Wellington on Thursday, December 21.
Wellington Blaze are the most successful side in the tournament's history, with seven titles, and ended as runners-up three times. The Amelia Kerr-led side would be hoping to turn the tables this time around after failing to have their hands on the silverware last year in the grand finale.
Wellington lost last year's finale to Canterbury by just 12 runs. They dominated the league phase with eight wins, one loss, and one no-result in 10 games, carrying 34 points. They have a pretty strong squad to make amends and create a significant impact.
On the other hand, Otago Sparks will be captained by Felicity Leydon-Davis. Interestingly, the side has won the title only once in the competition's history. They ended the previous season in the second position with six wins, three losses, and one no-result in 10 games, bagging 26 points.
However, their campaign ended after losing to Canterbury by seven wickets in the eliminator. This time, they would be aiming to put better performance in both batting and bowling departments in order to bag their second silverware.
