THE LOWDOWN
CANTERBURY KINGS
- Canterbury Kings reached the Super Smash final courtesy of finishing top of the league with six wins from ten matches played.
- Although the Kings finished level on points with Otago Volts, the former topped the table courtesy of having a significantly higher net-run-rate.
NORTHERN BRAVE
- Despite finishing third in the men’s Super Smash table, Northern Brave have reached the final courtesy of beating second-placed Otago Volts in the elimination final.
- Northern Brave put in a brilliant performance with the bat against the Volts, racking up 199/4 in 18 overs, a winning total as their opponents made 160/9 after 15 overs via the DLS method.
THE PREDICTION
Although Canterbury Kings have been the best team across the entire men’s Super Smash season, it’s hard to look beyond Northern Brave when considering how strong their batting looked in the elimination final. With just a two-day gap between fixtures, the Brave head into this grand final with momentum on their side and provided their top order can replicate the high levels of performance shown last time out, then they are well-placed to overcome Canterbury and lift what would be their fourth men’s Super Smash title.
