Live scores, Stats and Fixtures - Women's Super Smash 2022-23

New Zealand women's premier domestic T20 competition, Women's Super Smash 2022-23, comprising 32 matches, will run concurrently with the men's edition.

With the T20 World Cup scheduled to be played in South Africa in 2023, the competition will offer great preparation for the White Ferns.

The Women's Super Smash also provides an opportunity, particularly for the fringe players, to stack up the performances, and present a case for sneaking into the Kiwi WC squad.

As always, six teams - Auckland, Canterbury, Central, Northern, Otago and Wellington - 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.

The ball will be set rolling with the clash between Northern Brave and Canterbury Magicians at the Bay Oval on December 23.
