Men’s T20 professional leagues have been taking place for a couple of decades now, but the women’s competitions took a few years to be set up. However in New Zealand, the women’s domestic T20 league began just a couple of years after the men’s tournament was initiated. We’re referring to the New Zealand T20 league which is today know as the Women’s Super Smash.
It began as the State League Twenty20 back in the 2007/08 season, organised by New Zealand Cricket and contested by 6 regional teams since the first season. Today, the league is known as the Dream11 Super Smash for sponsorship reasons and on this page on Read Scoops, we’re going to go through a complete Women’s Super Smash winners list, from start till date.
The competition is played alongside the men’s Super Smash competition, in a double round robin and finals format. The group winner goes straight to the final while the second and third placed teams contest a preliminary final. So far, five of the six participating teams have been crowned Women’s Super Smash winners, with only Northern Brave waiting to lift the silverware till date.
