The two unbeaten teams will square up after the Aussies had a thumping win over New Zealand and the Americans squeaked home past a valiant NZ "A" side. Australia and USA met just a few days ago in Rangiora and the Americans had a nailbiting 1-wicket win, so this should hopefully be a titanic battle today, starting at 10:30 a.m. NZT.LIVE STREAMING: www.youtube.com/live/8V2pbKm99TQ?si=RUyWwkBpKQqEJM92LIVE SCORING: cricclubs.com/MastersCricketUSAover50/viewScorecard.do?matchId=204&clubId=20784The two New Zealand teams will be licking their wounds and looking for their first win.

The Over-50s Quad Series starts today in Blenheim, New Zealand. See the post below for all the details. Links to live streaming (of one game) and live scoring of both will be provided there shortly before play.It's game day! Following a wonderful meet-and-greet last night, complete with a powhiri (Maori welcome) and speeches (see photo below), the Quad Series kicks off today with two exciting match-ups at Horton Park, Blenheim.On the #1 ground, traditional rivals New Zealand and Australia (Australian Over 50s) square off. It was almost 6 years ago to the day that these two teams played the first ever O50I on New Zealand soil, just over the hill in Nelson. Little did we know at the time what a global movement over-50s cricket would become.This is in fact the first O50I that New Zealand have played at home since that series back in 2018, and the GreyCaps have not played any international cricket since the 2023 Over-50s World Cup. The NZ side is a combination of well-established players (only Richard Petrie and Mason Robinson remain from that 2018 side) and newcomers (Maurice Patten and Greg Stretch will be awarded their New Zealand caps today). Adil Somani plays his first match as captain of New Zealand. Australia also have a number of new players who will be looking to make their mark. Watch out for opener Steve Mace, who is fresh off a century against USA just a few days ago, and is averaging well over 70 at this level. Also keep an eye on Andrew Kratzmann, who scored multiple centuries at the Australian National Championships earlier this season, Damien Meek, who took a 6-fer at the World Cup, and tall opening bowler James Morris, who grabbed 4 wickets against USA the other day.This match starts at 11 a.m. NZT. Check back shortly before play for links to the live streaming and live scoring.LIVE STREAMING: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGeNqNqXtbwLIVE SCORING: www.crichq.com/matches/1139634/1st_inningThe other match today is between USA and New Zealand A. While this game will not be considered a full O50I, it will count towards the final tournament standings. The USA side looks highly competitive, as always, and they will be full of confidence after a 1-wicket win against Australia the other day. Look for some flamboyant batting and accurate spin bowling as their key weapons.New Zealand A is chock-full of players who are desperate to force their way into the New Zealand side for the Over-50s World Cup in Sri Lanka next season, so they will be highly motivated. Opener John Garry is in fantastic form (500+ runs in his last 4 club innings) and several players are "graduating" from the over-40s, including spinner Vishal Dube, Leigh Kelly, Simon & Mark Murphy, and Damien Grant. This match starts at 10:30 a.m. NZT. It will be live-scored, but not live-streamed.LIVE SCORING: cricclubs.com/MastersCricketUSAover50/viewScorecard.do?matchId=203&clubId=20784We expect both matches to be full of runs, on the excellent Horton Park wickets.
