The double-double is on.
Wellington is chasing back-to-back Super Smash titles in both the women's and men's competitions at the Basin Reserve today.
Only Canterbury stands in the way in both fixtures.
Last season the Wellington Blaze went undefeated to claim the women's crown.
The Kerr sisters Jess (20) and Amelia (18) picked up 38 wickets between them and occupied the top two spots in the wicket-taking column.
Deanna Doughty (17) and Leigh Kasperek (15) placed third and fourth respectively, while star opener Sophie Devine swatted 369 runs at a strike rate of 184.50 and average of 52.71.
It was an utterly dominating performance, but the Blaze has not been as convincing this season.
It dropped three games during the round-robin. One of those was early on when Devine was unavailable.
But the loss which stung the most was the nine-wicket defeat to Canterbury at the Basin on January 25.
Amy Satterthwaite blasted 71 not out from 50 deliveries to help her side clinch a comfortable victory.
She shapes as the key wicket for Wellington, while experienced Canterbury all-rounder Frankie Mackay has picked up 19 wickets with her right-arm off-breaks at miserly run rate of 4.87.
Pace bowler Lea Tahuhu has proven had to get away as well.
Canterbury might just shape as the favourites.
Not so in the men's tournament.
The Wellington Firebirds have slipped up just once this season — although it was against Canterbury, who have perhaps been a little underrated.
For once Devon Conway (362 runs at an average of 51.71) has had to concede the limelight. Finn Allen has stepped out of the shade and blasted a tournament-high 496 runs at a strike rate of 196.04.
He has whacked six 50s so far, and must have got himself into contention for the national side.
Those two have been so good hardly anyone else has had much of a bat, which could be a concern should they miss out in the final.
Veteran Hamish Bennett has been the best of the Wellington seamers with 13 wickets.
But arguably Canterbury has a better-balanced attack.
The Kings have solid spin options in Todd Astle and Cole McConchie. Both have been among the most economical bowlers in the tournament.
Black Caps seamer Matt Henry has nabbed 14 wickets and has been well-supported by international all-rounder Daryl Mitchell (10 wickets), Ed Nuttall (9 wickets) and Will Williams (7 wickets).
Canterbury's batting line-up perhaps lacks some X-factor. But the team has fought hard and found ways to win games.
Mitchell has scored more than 300 runs, Chad Bowes is dangerous on a good day and McConchie has played some crucial knocks.
