Eden Park, Auckland
Eden Park is famous for its short straight boundaries, which makes it one of the toughest grounds for bowlers in white-ball cricket. High scores are common here, which could make the 1st ODI a big-scoring game.
Hnry Stadium, Wellington
Wellington’s main stadium, earlier known as Sky Stadium, hosts the 2nd ODI. Wind is a key factor here, and bowlers often have to adjust their lines depending on which end they bowl from.
Seddon Park, Hamilton
Seddon Park hosts the 3rd ODI on November 10. The ground usually offers a good batting surface in white-ball games, so runs should come freely.
Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui
Bay Oval hosts the last two ODIs back to back, the 4th ODI on November 13 and the 5th ODI on November 15. The ground usually offers a good batting surface in white-ball games and is also known for its relatively small boundaries.
