    Another captain's knock from Suzie Bates for the Otago Sparks


    The skipper's powered her side to a place in the women's Twenty20 Super Smash decider, with a 29-run win over the Auckland Hearts in the elimination final.

    Bates finished with 75 off 62 balls, pass 500 runs for the season.

    But she won't get carried away by personal numbers, as she looks ahead to the final against the Wellington Blaze.
