In the 24th match of the Women’s Super Smash 2025/26 season, Northern Brave Women will take on the Central Hinds Women at Seddon Park, Hamilton. The Hinds are seated comfortably at the 2nd spot in the table, winning 5 out of the 7 games that they have played so far. Hannah Rowe, the skipper will be mighty pleased with how the women have gone about their business, with the bowling unit in exceptionally good touch. As the Central Hinds Women gear up to take on the Brave Women, here are the top 3 players to look out for:
Emma McLeod
Emma Mcleod, the Kiwi batter, has been quite good with the bat this season in the Super Smash with some crucial knocks. She has featured for the New Zealand women’s cricket team in 6 white-ball games including 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is. Emma brought up her maiden half-century in her previous game against Auckland, where her side won by a margin of 29 runs. She scored a valuable 30 against Wellington Blaze in a close 5-run victory this season. Emma will be a key batter in their unit, and her consistency could strengthen the batting of the Hinds.
Hannah Rowe
Hannah Rowe, the New Zealand all-rounder, has been a key performer in the Super Smash with her contributions with both bat and ball. In her T20I career, she has scored 155 runs from 20 innings, and she has also picked up 24 wickets from 38 innings. She has had strong all-round games, such as scoring 35 runs and taking 2 wickets for 29 runs in a match against Canterbury Magicians. She also played a match-winning knock of 23 against Northern Brave that led them to a 7-wicket win. The skipper’s contribution in both batting and bowling units would be crucial considering her ability to single-handedly win games for the side.
Grace Scrivens
Grace Scrivens, the England all-rounder, has been a standout performer for Central Hinds Women with her excellent bowling performance. She is yet to play for the national side, but she has been a consistent performer in T20s in the domestic circuit. She has taken 9 wickets at an economy of 3, which is the best in the tournament so far. She was awarded the player of the match award for her 4-wicket haul against Auckland Hearts. Central Hinds will be looking forward to her sensational bowling stint as she plays a massive role in the overall performance of the bowling unit.
