The Wellington Blaze hope domestic cricket's playoff scheduling can better prioritise women's teams

After going 10 from 10 through this season, the Blaze have been rewarded as top qualifier with a trip to Hamilton for Saturday's final - the location for the men's decider.

Blaze captain Maddy Green acknowledges they were at the lucky end of the format last season.
