Wellington hosted two game days at the Basin Reserve to start the week with Blaze winning both their games vs Auckland and Canterbury, while Firebirds lost to those teams on the men's side. Both Northern vs Central games were washed out so there is nothing to report there, while Auckland hosts Otago today so this Super Smash Scout entry won't have any Auckland notes.

Jess Kerr has grown into the most dominant women's cricketer of the Super Smash. Here's her mahi from the last two games...

• vs Auckland: 25 runs @ 104.1sr, 4ov @ 6rpo

• vs Canterbury: 44 runs @ 151.7sr, 4w @ 2.7rpo

J-Kerr is currently the leading run-scorer in Super Smash and she has leaped up to second for wickets. Younger sister Amelia Kerr scored 75* @ 125sr vs Auckland, 21 runs @ 91sr vs Canterbury with a wicket in each game which means both Kerr sisters are top-five in both categories.
