First place in the league stages of the women’s edition of Super Smash League is nailed down in Wellington Blaze’s and befittingly so as well. The side are the only team in the league to yet to be defeated, registering 9 wins out of 9 to garner up the 36 points in the points tally of the showpiece tournamnet.
They downed Canterbury Magicians by 8 wickets the last time around, a performance which saw them outshine their opponents in all departments of the game. It was a truly pulsating performance, one which saw them batter their opponents for a mere 96 run before cruising to the meagre target at hand with over 6 overs.
When they play against Auckland Hearts today though, the side will come across their sternest test, a side who are capable of throwing Blaze’s way a true test. In second place with the 24 points, Hearts come into today’s outing having putdown Northern Spirit by 13 runs, a result which saw them consolidate their second place.
Probable Winner
Wellington Blaze should be given a tough fight by Auckland today but this should be another win for them. No one has been even able to come close to their immaculate brand of cricket with the team seeing its entire squad moving in unison to deliver match winning displays.
Pitch Conditions And Toss
This is one of the most wickets in the country for the batters and we are set to be immersed in absolutely pristine batting conditions when the two take to the middle on the day.

Sophie Devine was unavailable for her side the last time around but the Blaze all-rounder is set to come back into her side for today’s encounter to see us make the side’s best performer an instant pick for the day.
