Eden Park is sold out for the One-Day International between New Zealand and India on Saturday 14 March.

New Zealand Cricket today confirmed that the final seats had been sold for the Auckland match. "A crowd of 21,000 will watch the final match in the series at Eden Park," said NZC Commercial Manager, Peter Dwan.

"While we are thrilled to reach capacity so far out from the match we are also concerned for cricket fans who have missed out on seats for the Auckland match.

"The Hamilton ODI earlier in the week [11 March] is also selling very quickly so we are urging fans from the Auckland area who want to see the explosive talents of the BLACKCAPS and Indian teams to secure their tickets for Hamilton.

"Demand for this tour has been strong, which is a reflection on the quality of the teams and the high profile that cricket is enjoying this summer," he said.

The remaining One Day Internationals between the BLACKCAPS and India will be played in Hamilton (11 March) and Auckland (14 March) before the three-match Test series, which starts on 18 March in Hamilton.
