One of the well-known T20 leagues, Super Smash, was founded in New Zealand in 2005. It is also one of the first T20 leagues. The name of the league has changed three to four times throughout the years, and it wasn’t well-known prior to the zenith of the T20 cricket league frenzy. The league will now kick off its 18th season on December 23, 2022, and the championship game will be played on February 11, 2023.
Since the Super Smash League began, all teams are only permitted to have two international players, which is uncommon in other T20 leagues. Because Super Smash League conflicts with a hectic international calendar for New Zealand and other teams, this is the case. Because of this, the league offers plenty of chances for domestic players to improve their skills.
