The Super Smash finals weekend is upon us at Hagley Oval and the award-winning Sport Nation Cricket commentary team will be calling the action across both the men's and women's fixtures.
On Friday, it's the Elimination Finals starting with the Hearts vs Brave from 2pm, first ball 2.10pm - followed by the Kings vs Aces with first ball scheduled for 5.55pm.
The winner of the Hearts vs Brave will face the might of the defending champion Wellington Blaze in the Super Smash women's final on Saturday, followed by the winner of the Kings vs Aces taking on the Northern Brave in the men's final to crown a new champion after the Central Stags were knocked out of contention.
Also on Sport Nation with commentary provided by SEN, winners of the first tennis major of 2026 will be found at Melbourne Park as the Australian Open reaches its conclusion.
Plus talkSPORT's coverage of the English Premier League continues into Matchweek 24, headlined by Liverpool vs Newcastle.
Here is your live sport bible for everything that's happening on the Sport Nation network from January 30 to February 2 (all times in NZDT).
