AUS-NZ series venue changed for Coronavirus strike

The fourth T-20 match of the series between Australia and New Zealand has been shifted Auckland to Wellington due to strike of Coronavirus in Auckland.

The New Zealand government has imposed a week-round lockdown while Wellington has been kept under level-3 lockdown. No sport is allowed during this time.

So New Zealand Cricket has been forced to move from next Friday's T20 Auckland to Wellington. The third match of the series will be played on the same ground on Wednesday.

The venue for the England-New Zealand girls' T20 series has also changed. The second T20 of the two teams to be held in Auckland on Friday will now be in Wellington.

Level-2 lockdown has been given in all other parts of the country. As a result, all the matches next week will be in a field without spectators.
