Northern Brave are favorites to win
Northern Brave and Canterbury Kings go head to head in the 2021-22 Super Smash Final on Saturday evening in Hamilton. This will be the third time that Northern Brave have reached the final with their only title coming in 2013-14. Canterbury won the inaugural Super Smash in 2005-06 and lost in last season’s final. Read on as we preview this fixture. This match begins at Seddon Park at 18:50 local time.
Northern Brave had their first game of this season’s Super Smash rained off and lost their next match. Since then they have won eight in a row and look unstoppable.
Canterbury Kings lost only one of their last seven games but that defeat came against Northern Brave. However, they will still fancy their chances in this one-off fixture.
Spark Sports will show this game in New Zealand. BT Sport will show the match in the UK with Fox Sports providing live coverage in Australia. Willow Sports have the rights in the USA with Star Sports showing the game in India.

Both of this season’s Super Smash fixtures at Seddon Park have seen the team who won the toss choose to field first. We expect both skippers to insert the opposition in this final.
The pitch at Seddon Park will be a typical New Zealand surface which offers something for spinners, fast bowlers and batters alike. We expect a par score in this final to be 165-170.
Early evening sun will give way to cloudy skies with the temperature dropping from 25 to 18 degrees during the match.

Jeet Raval has led an impressive squad this season and they have been boosted by the return of Tim Southee, Mitchell Santner and Trent Boult who missed a chunk of games due to the Test series with Bangladesh. They have a terrific team spirit and we envisage them taking the field with the same XI as in their last match.
Northern Brave’s form has been nothing short of sensational, they lost their only game of the tournament on December 12.
Katene Clarke, Tim Seifert (wk), Jeet Raval (c), Colin de Grandhomme, Mitchell Santner, Henry Cooper, Anurag Verma, Tim Southee, Ish Sodhi, Joe Walker, Trent Boult
Blake Coburn made way for Mitchell Hay in the Canterbury Kings XI ahead of the Elimination Final victory over Wellington Firebirds. Hay did not bat or bowl and with spin likely to play more of a role on this pitch, we expect Coburn to return to the side for this final.
Canterbury Kings have won six of their last seven matches in this season’s tournament.
Chad Bowes, Tom Latham, Daryl Mitchell, Leo Carter, Cole McConchie (c), Cam Fletcher (wk), Henry Shipley, Matt Henry, Todd Astle, Blake Coburn, Ed Nuttall
Northern Brave have won the last three meetings between the sides including both group stage games this season.

Tom Latham, Chad Bowes and Cam Fletcher are our batting recommendations for Canterbury Kings. Latham has struck over 150 runs across his last four Super Smash innings.
For Northern Brave, Trent Boult, Tim Southee and Anurag Verma are our bowling tips. Boult and Southee are just the type of experienced heads to rely upon in a final.
For Canterbury Kings, Matt Henry, Ed Nuttall and Henry Shipley are our bowling tips. All three Kings bowlers are still in the running to finish as the tournament’s leading wicket taker.
These two sides were the standout teams in the group stage and unsurprisingly finished in the top two places. As a result, this should be a game high on quality and entertainment with plenty of international on show. We are predicting a competitive game with Northern Brave winning the title.
