    The Wellington Blaze are the first women's Super Smash team to earn a bonus point after a second straight win in the T20 cricket competition, thrashing the Auckland Hearts by 49 runs at the Basin Reserve


    That came thanks to a superb unbeaten century from opener Amelia Kerr, as the Blaze made 184 for two, surpassing the 160-run threshold for an extra point.

    In reply, the Hearts were all out for 135 with one ball remaining.
