Queenstown’s John Davies Oval is set to be a mini-hub for the WHITE FERNS and New Zealand A and NZ XI women this summer, with no less than eight games scheduled.
The marquee matches at the picturesque Oval will be the WHITE FERNS v Pakistan doubleheader on Sunday December 3 and Tuesday December 5.
After the WHITE FERNS proved too strong when the sides last met in Christchurch at the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup in 2022, the visitors will be looking to start well at the venue where they will play two warm-up matches against the New Zealand XI on November 29 and 30.
The highly rated England women hit town in March with both their top team and A team playing warm-up matches from the 10th to 13th at the Oval.
The New Zealand A v England A T20I series will be entirely played at the Queenstown venue with the opening games on the weekend of the 16th and 17th and the final match on Wednesday 20.

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.
