The BLACKCAPS sold-out summer looks set to continue with less than 500 tickets remaining for Sunday’s opening ODI against Sri Lanka at the Cello Basin Reserve in Wellington.
That’s despite the venue's capacity being increased by 400 seats to 6800, up from the usual 6400 capacity for Test matches.
Sunday’s Chemist Warehouse ODI series opener is the BLACKCAPS first 50-over international at the Basin in almost four years, with gates set to open at 9:30am for the 11am start.
The last BLACKCAPS ODI at the Basin was a 164-run victory over Bangladesh in March 2021, a match that featured a maiden international century for Daryl Mitchell in his third ODI.
Strong crowd support has been a feature of this BLACKCAPS home-summer so far with all three T20Is against Sri Lanka sold-out in advance, following on from full houses for the England Test series.
