BLACKCAPS World Cup star Rachin Ravindra is set to step up for the Wellington Firebirds as the heat goes on in this week's Super Smash.
After his head-turning century feats in India in 2023, the Firebirds welcome Ravindra back for the first time in this summer's Dream11 Super Smash, with two rounds to go and the Birds out to regain the top spot and Grand Final direct entry on the table.
The Auckland Aces' victory over the Volts today at Eden Park saw the former leaders bumped down to second spot on the table and only the top qualifier at the end of 10 rounds is assured to a place in the Grand Final, with the second and third qualifiers to square off in a sudden death Elimination Final next Friday.
