Overview

  • Cricket Australia confirmed the third ODI will now be played at Hobart’s Bellerive Oval on March 1, with the second ODI already scheduled there on February 27.
  • Fans who purchased tickets for the Junction Oval game will receive refunds, with processing outlined by Cricket Australia.
  • Organisers ruled out switching the match to a daytime start because there is only one day between the second and third ODIs.
  • The Melbourne Cricket Ground was unavailable as a fallback because it is undergoing renovation work.
  • Junction Oval will continue to host WBBL and other daytime domestic cricket as floodlight installation and commissioning are completed after planning-related delays.
