super smash woman point table 2026
The Women’s Super Smash 2025-26 has taken New Zealand by storm, bringing a fresh level of intensity to domestic T20 cricket. As we move through January 2026, the battle for the top three spots is heating up. This season is particularly historic due to the introduction of a new bonus point system designed to align the domestic game with high-scoring international standards.
The New Bonus Point Revolution
The 2025-26 season introduced a major shift in how points are awarded. New Zealand Cricket (NZC) revamped the system to encourage aggressive play. Here is how it works:
-
Standard Win: 4 Points.
-
No Result / Tie: 2 Points.
-
The Bonus Point (Max 1 per match): A team can earn an extra point in two ways:
-
The 150-Run Mark: Scoring 150 runs or more in an innings (regardless of batting first or second).
-
Run Rate Superiority: Achieving a run rate greater than 1.25 times that of the opposition in the second innings.
-
This explains why Wellington Blaze has 14 points despite having only 3 wins; they have successfully secured bonus points by dominating their opponents and crossing high-scoring thresholds.
Wellington Blaze: The Gold Standard
The defending champions are once again the team to beat. Led by the tactical brilliance of their senior players, the Blaze have been clinical. Their victory over Northern Brave (winning by 61 runs) and a high-scoring win against the Hearts showed why they sit at the top. Amelia Kerr has been the standout, notably scoring a magnificent 106 against Auckland.
The Mid-Table Logjam: Sparks, Hearts, and Hinds
Three teams are currently tied at 10 points, making the race for the Elimination Final (2nd vs 3rd) incredibly tight.
-
Otago Sparks: They have shown flashes of brilliance, particularly through Laura Harris, who equaled the record for the fastest T20 half-century (15 balls) this season.
-
Auckland Hearts: Despite a heavy loss to the Blaze, they showed resilience with a 1-run win over the Sparks, proving they can handle high-pressure finishes.
-
Central Hinds: The Hinds have stayed in the hunt with two crucial wins, including a DLS-aided victory over the Magicians in a rain-shortened 5-over thriller.
Struggling for Momentum: Northern Brave and Canterbury
Northern Brave has been hampered by weather, with an early abandoned match slowing their progress. However, their recent 24-run win over the Sparks suggests they are still a threat. On the other hand, the Canterbury Magicians have had a nightmare start, losing all three of their opening games. Their only point came as a batting bonus point in a close loss to the Hinds.
