The 2024-25 Women's Super Smash, organized by New Zealand Cricket, is a T20 cricket competition set to begin on December 26 and conclude on February 2. The tournament will feature 32 matches, including playoffs, in a double round-robin format.
This marks the 20th edition of the competition, with six highly competitive teams participating. Wellington Blaze are the most successful team in the tournament's history, having won eight titles, while Canterbury Magicians have secured six. Auckland Hearts, Central Hinds, and Otago Sparks Sparks each have one title. Northern Brave, however, have yet to win a title or finish as runners-up.
In the previous edition, Wellington Blaze triumphed over Central Hinds in a dramatic final. Wellington Blaze were bowled out for just 89 runs in a rain-affected match, which was reduced to 17 overs via the DLS method. Despite a valiant effort from Central Hinds, they fell short in their chase, and Wellington Blaze emerged victorious by just one run.
On that note, let's take a look at the tournament’s schedule, squads, and match timings:
