The tournament promises cricket enthusiasts a thrilling display of talent and fierce competition among the top teams in the country.
The participating teams are divided into North Island and South Island groups, with Auckland Aces, Central Districts, Northern Knights and Wellington Firebirds representing the North, while Canterbury Kings and Otago Volts carry the South Island’s hopes.

For the second and third-ranked teams, the journey takes a detour into the elimination final, where they will clash in a do-or-die encounter. The winner of this intense battle will earn the coveted opportunity to challenge the top team in the grand finale and potentially lift the Super Smash trophy.
