Event Information
The Plunket Shield is one of New Zealand's oldest sporting competitions. The Shield itself was donated by Lord William Lee Plunket, New Zealand's 12th Governor, in 1907, and is considered the most beautiful sporting prize in New Zealand. In 2016/17 the competition bookends the home season and comprises a series of 10 rounds, each of the three matches per round played over four days. The New Zealand first-class season concludes in early April. This game ushers in a new era in domestic cricket, with this round of the Plunket Shield being played under lights.
