India vs New Zealand — Christchurch

Hagley Oval · Thu, Oct 22, 2026

Hagley Oval sits inside a public park in the middle of the city — there are no permanent stands beyond the pavilion; temporary grandstands go up just for internationals and come down again after, which is part of why it still feels more like a garden than a stadium.
