The Canterbury men will contest their sixth consecutive Grand Final in cricket's T20 Super Smash after trouncing Auckland by nine-wickets in Christchurch. 

The Kings rolled the Aces for just 106 in 18.4 overs.  

Canterbury opener Chad Bowes then thumped an unbeaten 59 off 31 balls to secure victory with a whopping 9.3 overs to spare.  

They'll face the Northern Brave in this afternoon's title decider at the same venue. 

Head Coach Peter Fulton joined D’Arcy to reflect on last night’s clash, and look ahead to today’s Grand Final.
