Friday night’s fourth T20I between the BLACKCAPS and Pakistan at Hagley Oval has officially sold-out with the last of the 8,500 tickets snapped up this morning.
Christchurch fans are encouraged to get in quick for Sunday afternoon’s fifth and final match at the same venue with less than 1000 tickets remaining.
The KFC T20I series against Pakistan has drawn bumper crowds with the sold-out sign posted up in both Dunedin and Hamilton following more than 20,000 fans attending the series opener at Eden Park last Friday night.
NZC is also reminding fans about the importance of keeping their eye on the ball when attending matches.
Due to the high frequency of boundaries and particularly sixes in T20 cricket, and following Finn Allen’s 16 sixes in Dunedin yesterday, NZC is encouraging fans at venues to remain vigilant and engaged in the game to minimise the risk of being struck by a ball.
The fourth T20I gets underway on Friday night at 7.10pm, live and free on TVNZ 1, TVNZ+ and SENZ.

The New Zealand national cricket team, known as the Black Caps, made their Test debut in 1930 against England in Christchurch, becoming the fifth nation to play Test cricket. After waiting 26 years for their first Test win against the West Indies in 1956, they also played their first ODI in 1972–73 against Pakistan. New Zealand are the inaugural World Test Championship champions (2021) and have won the ICC Champions Trophy (2000). They have reached the Cricket World Cup final twice and the T20 World Cup final once.
