One Day International Cricket: New Zealand BLACKCAPS v Pakistan

It's Wellington Anniversary weekend too, what a great excuse to get to the Stadium for some first class cricket action!

This season the BLACKCAPS take on the unpredictable Pakistan in the only international cricket tour to New Zealand for a very long time. With the ODI World Cup looming, this series will be the last chance either team has to fine tune their game, so expect some hard fought and feisty matches.



Make sure you head down to Westpac Stadium to catch all the action and support the BLACKCAPS in true Wellington style.
