Wellington pitch report today: how is the Hnry Stadium pitch?
The match began after rain affected the start and the outfield. Those conditions make the opening phase and the chase context important, but the available match reports do not establish a measured pitch rating or a definitive batting-versus-bowling verdict.
India's decision to bowl first gave its seamers the first use of the surface. The two innings provide match context, but a single rain-affected game does not establish a permanent pitch tendency. Any reading of movement, bounce, grip or pace should be based on what is seen in this match, not assumed from the venue name.
What to watch during the innings
| New ball | Watch the actual movement and bounce rather than treating weather disruption as proof of assistance. |
|---|---|
| Batting partnerships | With 47 overs per side, wickets and scoring tempo need to be read against the revised format. |
| Outfield | Rain and work on the wet field affected the start; later fielding conditions should be observed live. |
| Spin | Grip and turn are match observations, not verified pre-match facts in this source check. |
Weather disruption alone does not establish how much the pitch assists seam or spin. No measured pitch-assistance percentage is claimed.
Hnry Stadium weather today: rain impact
Rain affected the toss/start, and the wet field required ground-staff work before play. That is the source-checked match-day weather information reported for this match-day snapshot.
The verified match reports describe rain disruption, not a station-specific numeric observation. This guide does not give a current temperature, humidity, wind-speed or visibility reading.
Weather takeaway: Rain affected the start and reduced the available overs. Further interruptions can alter playing time and the target under the DLS method; any later update needs its own timestamp.
Why is the India vs New Zealand 2nd ODI reduced to 47 overs?
Rain delayed the start and the wet field needed attention. The scorecard records a revised format of 47 overs per side instead of the standard 50.

Hnry Stadium boundary figures
The earlier PitchVaani venue research reports two approximate broadcast figures: 56m and 62m. These are estimates, not official stadium dimensions. Official match-day rope measurements were not independently confirmed, and the source check does not establish which figure maps to a particular direction. They do not establish official square/straight dimensions or a stadium survey.
56m and 62m broadcast estimates only. On small screens, scroll the chart horizontally.
Hnry Stadium ground records
Hnry Stadium has hosted international cricket in different formats. ODI and T20I records measure separate competitions and should not be combined. This match-day report does not present a complete all-time record table.
How rain affected the second innings
India’s innings ended at 113/7 after 26 overs. The scorecard records rain at that point and a final win by 4 runs under the DLS method. The original 47-over allocation and the later 26-over chase context are different stages of this rain-affected match.
