Milestone
The match had to be abandoned because of an unwanted guest rain⛈️. Rain has been ruling the Super Smash League since day two so bad luck again today we could not see the clash of table toppers. The points will be shared by Wellington and Central Stags. Do you join us for the upcoming games from all around the globe. For now, it's me Tugral Azmi signing off along with my co-commentator Megh Mandaliya and scorer/analyst Raju Khariya.
6:55 AM IST | The match has been ABANDONED, according to a message from the middle. The officials were having a prolonged discussion with the ground staff and the match cannot start under these circumstances.
6.23 AM IST| We have good news folks...!! It has stopped raining completely. But the entire Basin Reserve ground has been covered. The toss might be a little delayed because the ground is still wet. Stick with our live coverage for further updates.
5:50 AM IST | We're afraid to bring you some bad news from the middle. The rain has not eased from the first game and the toss has been delayed. Stay tuned for further updates!  
Players to Watch Out For Today:

Josh Clarkson: The right-handed all-rounder has been in blistering form this season accumulating 178 runs in 4 innings at a roaring strike rate of 200. His previous scores are 19(15), 58(29), 46(20), and 55(25). 

Dane Cleaver: The Central Stags gloveman is the third-highest run-scorer of the tournament by aggregating 149 runs in 4 innings so far this season with an average of 37.2. 

Rachin Ravindra: Another all-rounder who is going through fine form this season. The left-armer has scalped 5 breakthroughs in 4 innings at an economy of 7.5 and also chalked up 104 runs at an average of 34.6.  

Head-to-Head (Last 10 matches): Both Firebirds and Stags have almost a neck-to-neck affair but Wellington Firebirds holds a slight edge over Stags with 6 victories in the last 10 games. Moreover, the Peter Younghusband-led side has defeated Stags 4 times in their last 5 outings against them.   
Pitch Report: The Basin Reserve in Wellington would be hosting its third Super Smash fixture this season. In the first two fixtures, the surface here was slightly green and pacers would fancy bowling in these conditions. Moreover, the overcast weather and slow outfield would make things toilsome for batters.
5:10 AM IST | Hello and a warm welcome to our live coverage of the 14th fixture of the Super Smash 2022-23 between Wellington Firebirds and Central Stags from Basin Reserve, Wellington. I'm Megh Mandaliya and would be promptly joined by my co-commentator Tugral Azmi. We will take you through the ball-by-ball coverage of this exciting encounter with our scorer/analyst Raju Khariya. 

Matches are coming thick and fast in the Super Smash League. The 14th match will see Wellington up against Central Stags.

Both teams are flying high and are fighting it out for the top-of-the-table spot. They have identical records in the tournament so far, winning 3 games and losing a solitary match. Expect a fiery encounter when the two teams will collide against each other.

Central Stags won their last match against Auckland by 4 wickets and showed their superiority. On the other hand, Wellington lost their previous fixture by 6 wickets at the hands of Northern Brave and looked toothless for most of the part.

A fine battle awaits us. So join us for the coverage of the game, sharp at 5 AM IST.
