Hnry Stadium ground dimensions: How long is the boundary in meters in Wellington? Explore straight and square boundary lengths, baseball-shaped dimensions, and crowd capacity.

Hnry Stadium, located in Wellington, serves as the cricket ground for the second match in the five-match ODI series between India and New Zealand. Constructed in 1999, the stadium was built on reclaimed land and designed as a multi-purpose bowl stadium, initially replacing the Basin Reserve for major white-ball fixtures. Its boundary dimensions have been a topic of discussion among visiting white-ball teams due to its unique circular layout and notorious wind conditions.

The stadium offers straight and square boundaries, with distances varying across the playing surface. The straight boundary, estimated at about 65 to 68 meters, is fairly standard, while the square boundary, estimated at about 65 to 70 meters, provides a generous area for cross-batted shots. The stadium complies with the ICC's boundary regulations, ensuring a standardized playing field for international white-ball cricket.
