    A home elimination final for the Auckland Hearts in domestic cricket's Super Smash

    A home elimination final for the Auckland Hearts in domestic cricket's Super Smash


    They've beaten the Wellington Blaze by seven runs in their final regular season match at the Eden Park Outer Oval.

    After posting a below-par 117, a stellar effort with the ball's seen them roll the visitors for 110.

    The result puts the Canterbury Magicians into Saturday's final, while the Hearts and Blaze will meet once again in an elimination final at Eden Park on Thursday.

    Allrounder Anna Peterson is stoked.
