Super Smash 2021-22 News

This is a dead rubber but Otago will play for their pride while Canterbury will play to gain confidence moving into the eliminator.

Auckland Aces will face Central Stags on January 22, 2022, at the Eden Park in Auckland for match 28 of the ongoing Super Smash tournament

Both teams have a long winning streak going. The hosts are unbeaten in their last four games, while the visitors are yet to lose in their last six.

Auckland Aces came face-to-face against Wellington Firebirds. This was the battle that almost confirmed who became the third team to qualify for the play-offs. Here’s how the tale of the Firebirds finishing on top unfolded.

Auckland were thrown into the sheds by Shipley's near-perfect line and lengths. He whistled past the Aces top order, reducing them to 16/3 in just 5.3 overs

They met each other earlier in the 20th match of the tournament where the Kings from Canterbury showed the Aces how to chase a target effortlessly as they hunted down a target of 168 runs with 13 balls to spare.
