Women’s Super Smash 2023-24: Full schedule, squads, match timings and live-streaming details

New Zealand Cricket is all set to host the Women's Super Smash, starting on Wednesday, December 19. Auckland Hearts, Central Hinds, Canterbury Magicians, Northern Brave, Otago Sparks, and Wellington Blaze are the six participating teams.

The competition, initially known as the State League Twenty20 from 2007-08 to 2008-09, has undergone a series of changes. In 2009-10, it was rebranded to New Zealand Cricket Women's T20 and was called Action Cricket T20 from 2010-11 to 2011-12. Subsequently, it was renamed as the NZ Women's T20 Competition from 2012-13 to 2017-18.

Since 2018-19, the tournament has been officially named the Women's Super Smash. Wellington Blaze have won the competition on seven occasions while the Canterbury Magicians have won it six times. Northern Brave is the only side yet to bag a title.

In the last edition, Canterbury Magicians defeated Wellington Blaze by 12 runs in the grand finale. Kate Anderson ended the edition as the leading run-scorer with 536 runs from 12 innings. Medium pacer Gabby Sullivan (21) scalped the most wickets.

Maddy Green has been appointed captain of Auckland Hearts, while Laura Hughes will assume the role of skipper for Canterbury Magicians. Natalie Dodd will guide the Central Hinds with Northern Brave naming Eimear Richardson as their skipper. Otago Sparks will be captained by Felicity Leydon-Davis while Amelia Kerr will continue as the captain of Wellington Blaze.
