Bay Oval (also known as Blake Park) is a cricket ground in Mount Maunganui, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand.[1]

History

First known as Blake Park,[2] it held its first List A match in 1987/88 Shell Cup when Northern Districts played Central Districts. During the 1980s and 90s, large holiday crowds flocked to the ground to watch one-day matches,[3] with the ground playing host to a total of 26 List A matches between 1987/88 and 2001/02 seasons.[4] Northern Districts Women played two matches there in the 2004/05 State League.[5]

The Bay of Plenty Cricket Association later constructed a new cricket oval at Blake Park, the Bay Oval, which held its first senior match in the 2008–09 State Twenty20 with Northern Districts playing Otago. A further Twenty20 match was held there during that competition, while the following season three matches in that format were played in the 2009–10 HRV Cup, while two were held in the 2010–11 HRV Cup.[6]

Four Twenty20 matches were held there in the 2011–12 HRV Cup, along with two 2011-12 Ford Trophy matches. Northern Districts Women are scheduled to play a match there in December 2011 in the Action Cricket Cup. The Bay Oval is also permitted to host first-class cricket.[3]

Bay Oval hosted its first ODI on January 28, 2014 between Canada and Netherlands as part of the 2014 Cricket World Cup Qualifier.

In October 2014, the ground hosted the first two ODIs of the home series against South Africa, but was not used for the 2015 Cricket World Cup. Bay Oval hosted a One day international and a T20 International between New Zealand and Sri Lanka in early 2016. New Zealand won both matches.

Early in 2017, a crowd-funding effort was made for the ground to install six floodlights to make the ground fit for day/night matches, and it hosted the first day/night T20I series on 30 December 2017.

This is the ground where Colin Munro scored two of his record 3 T20I centuries.

It will host its first test match between New Zealand and England in November 2019, and the Under-19 ODI World Cup in 2018, including the final.
