Black Caps batsman Devon Conway played a match-winning innings as the Wellington Firebirds claimed back-to-back Twenty20 Super Smash titles with a five-wicket win over the Canterbury Kings.
Conway carried his bat, finishing unbeaten on 93 off 63 balls, and fittingly hit the winning runs, driving Will Williams through backward point for four to seal the title with two balls to spare.
Conway had support from Troy Johnson (28 off 15), Jimmy Neesham (18 off 12) and Jamie Gibson (16 not out off 10), after Canterbury had removed the dangerous Finn Allen early for 16, and Tom Blundell for a second-ball duck.
