Super Smash 2022-23: Full squads, Fixtures & Preview: All you need to know

Live Scores, Stats and Fixtures - Super Smash 2022-23
Two things happen at the time of Christmas, goodies come home and the Super Smash returns. The League has been scheduled with 32 T20s, set to be played over a period of close to two months.
The league commences on December 23 and will go on till February 11.
As always, six teams - Auckland Aces, Canterbury Kings, Central Stags, Northern Knights, Otago Volts and Wellington Firebirds - will take part in the tournament in a double round robin format in the league stage. It implies that each team will play every other team twice in the group stage which adds up to a total of 10 matches per side.
The top three teams from the leaderboard will advance to the playoffs consisting of the Elimination final and the final.
A big disadvantage for Super Smash is that due to the international fixtures of New Zealand clashing with the tournament, many of their top players will not be able to feature in a fair few games.
The tournament kicks off with the encounter between Northern Brave and Canterbury Kings at the Bay Oval on December 23.
