Turf Meets Surf at the Super Smash Launch
09 December 2025. New Zealand’s T20 stars will descend on Sumner Beach today for the official launch of the 2025-26 season of Super Smash presented by KFC. Representatives from all twelve teams are set to get their toes in the sand alongside Surf Lifesaving New Zealand lifeguards to celebrate the return of KFC Super 6’s for Surf. Throughout the Super Smash season, KFC will donate $100 to Surf Lifesaving New Zealand for every six hit, an initiative that raised $38,100 last summer. The 32-day, 64-game competition will see BLACKCAPS, WHITE FERNS and rising stars battle it out across the country from Boxing Day through to the finals weekend at Christchurch’s Hagley Oval on January 30 and 31. The competition is set to deliver another blockbuster summer of cricket building on the momentum of a landmark 2024-25 season that saw TVNZ broadcasts reach over one million Kiwis and 7.3 million views across NZC’s digital channels. NZC Chief Executive Scott Weenink said the Super Smash had firmly established itself as an essential part of a Kiwi summer. “We were delighted with the numbers from last season, but it’s not just about the numbers, the quality of cricket we’re seeing in this competition is

Blackcaps vs West Indies Test Match Timings
13 December 2025. Updated Start Time for Day Three of the Test Match at Hagley Oval Hagley Oval has confirmed a revised first-ball start time of 10.58am for Day 3 of the Test match. A brief rain delay earlier today caused a small disruption, but the combination of an early start this morning and a later-than-scheduled finish has helped pull the match close to back on track. With the original first-ball time set for 11.00am, tomorrow’s adjusted start allows officials to fine-tune the schedule and ensure as much play as possible is completed across the remaining days. All venue operations will continue as normal, with gates opening at the usual time. Spectators are encouraged to arrive early and settle in for another full day of Test cricket as the match builds into a key phase. Any further updates will be provided across our official channels. Please note: All timings are approximate and subject to change. Play can start at 10:30am on Days 2 – 5 if time has been lost due to weather. Play can also extend to 6:30pm for a slow over rate or 7pm if weather has delayed play. Lunch and tea timings are more or less fixed unless
