New Zealand Black Caps vs Australia - 5th ODI
 The National Bank Series will come alive when the world beating Australians hit town. The BLACKCAPS are hard to beat on their home turf but the Aussies will be out to prove their new players can foot it with the Kiwis.
This is classic trans-Tasman cricket rivalry at its best. It's one-day international cricket with an edge, plus the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy is up for grabs so there's extra incentive to support New Zealand.
Make sure you head down to Westpac Stadium to catch all the action and support the BLACKCAPS in true Wellington style.
Date: Saturday 13th March 2010
