India in New Zealand22 October – 1 December 2026Records (29)India’s successful chase of 226 in the first Twenty20 international at Hagley Oval is their highest in the formatAbhishek Sharma’s six from the first ball he faced was the seventh of his Twenty20 international career, more than any other batter, past Shafiqullah Shinwari’s sixNew Zealand’s 4–225 at Hagley Oval is their highest Twenty20 international total against India on home soilFive India bowlers each conceded 40 or more in New Zealand’s 4–225 at Hagley Oval — Axar Patel 51, Bhuvneshwar Kumar 49, Arshdeep Singh 45, Mayank Yadav 40 and Nitish Kumar Reddy 40 — the first time five India bowlers have gone for 40 or more in the same Twenty20 internationalNaman Dhir’s 42 not out off 15 balls in the first match is the highest score by an India batter at No. 7 or lower in a successful men’s Twenty20 international chase, past Irfan Pathan’s 33 not out against Sri Lanka at Colombo in 2009Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma’s 93 for the first wicket in the first match was India’s fifth fifty-plus opening stand in men’s Twenty20 internationals in 2026, equalling the India record for a calendar year, set by KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma in 2021 and matched by Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill in 2025Tilak Varma’s two catches in the second match took him to 26 in men’s Twenty20 internationals in 2026, the most by any fielder in a calendar year, past Danilson Hawoe’s 25 for Indonesia in 2025Arshdeep Singh’s 2–33 in the second match took him to 38 men’s Twenty20 international wickets in 2026, the most by an India bowler in a calendar year, past Bhuvneshwar Kumar’s 37 in 2022Abhishek Sharma’s six in the second match was his 100th in the powerplay in men’s Twenty20 internationals, the first batter to reach 100 — Rohit Sharma is next on 98Abhishek Sharma also became the first India opener to score 1,000 men’s Twenty20 international runs in a calendar year, reaching 1,012 from 36 matches in 2026Tilak Varma and Nitish Kumar Reddy’s unbroken 69 for the seventh wicket in the second match is the joint-second-highest seventh-wicket stand in a successful men’s Twenty20 international chase, equalling Chamika Karunaratne and Dasun Shanaka’s unbeaten 69 for Sri Lanka against Australia in 2022Mitch Santner’s 4–21 in the second match made him the first bowler to take two four-wicket hauls against India in men’s Twenty20 internationals, after his 4–11 at Nagpur in 2016India’s win in the second match was their 200th in men’s Twenty20 internationals, the first men’s team to reach 200, and it came in their 300th match — a total only Pakistan had reached before themIndia’s 68 runs in the final five overs of the second match are the most they have made in that phase of a successful men’s Twenty20 international chase, past 60 against Pakistan at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the 2022 T20 World CupIndia’s 118 without loss in the powerplay of the third match is the highest powerplay total in men’s Twenty20 international cricket, past Romania’s 116 against Serbia at Sofia in 2021India reached 150 in 7.4 overs in the third match, the fastest any team has reached 150 in men’s Twenty20 cricket;

Checked Sat 31 Oct 2026 Fixture lists move.
Dates and venues come from the boards’ own releases — the BCCI, Cricket Australia and Cricket South Africa.
A ground marked * is our inference: the board named only the city, and that city has one international ground.
A ? beside a start time means the board has not published it and we are relying on a secondary source.
Results, margins, the player of the match and the milestones come from the same boards’ own match centres; a played match stays here until a week after its series ends.
A series marked Complete has every one of its matches recorded, and the result and records beside that badge are the boards’ own too.
If something here is wrong, tell us and we will fix it.
About the times
Why this is harder than it looks
Three things that make a single offset wrong, and are the reason every match here is stored as a precise instant rather than a time of day.
India does not change its clocks
Australia does, on 4 October — in the middle of the West Indies series. The third one-dayer and the first T20 three days later sit an hour apart for no cricketing reason at all.
Queensland and WA never move
A T20 at the Gabba and one at the SCG are both 7.15pm locally, but the Gabba is 6.15pm AEST and the SCG 7.15pm AEDT. Storing one offset per country would put every Queensland match an hour out all summer.
Nights cross the date line
A 7pm start in India is half past midnight the next day in eastern Australia. The date has to move with the time, or you set an alarm for the wrong night.
So each match is stored as the venue’s own local start plus that venue’s offset on that date, turned into one exact moment when the page is built. Your browser then puts it into your zone. Both times are on the page: yours, and the ground’s.
Watching from Australia
Less is free-to-air than you would think
One note rather than a column, because rights are sold per tournament and change.
Only the home Tests are on free-to-air.
The four New Zealand Tests and the 150th Anniversary Test are on Seven and 7plus.
Every one of the eight England white-ball matches in November and December is subscription only — Fox Cricket and Kayo — and so is every away match, from Zimbabwe through to India.
Venue websites list “Seven and 7plus” as season-wide boilerplate; that does not mean the T20s are on it.
Disney+ Hotstar does not work in Australia. It is built for the Indian market and an Indian subscription does not carry across. This is the most common misunderstanding among Indian families here and it is worth knowing before the first ball rather than after.
The 2027 Ashes in England is not part of Cricket Australia’s deal — it is a UK rights product and the Australian broadcaster is not yet confirmed. We are not going to guess at it.
If you are away
Cricket from a campsite
The reason this is on a camping site rather than a cricket one.
This summer is unusually good for it. Four home Tests across December and January, all starting mid-morning, and then five in India starting at 3pm — afternoon and evening cricket rather than the 2am an England tour gives you. Boxing Day at the MCG and New Year’s at the SCG both fall squarely in the school holidays.
The T20s are the hard ones. India’s are half past midnight, streamed, in a cabin with other people asleep. Worth knowing before you plan a trip around one.
Check reception before you count on streaming. Several parks on this site have patchy or no mobile coverage — the getting-there section on each park page says what we found. A Test on a phone hotspot is a different proposition from one at home.
Method
What is missing, and three things worth correcting
Including two that most coverage gets wrong.
The Ashes is not on this summer. The 2025–26 Ashes finished in January 2026; Australia won 4–1. The next is in England in June–August 2027. Australia’s home summer here is England in white-ball only, and New Zealand for the Tests.
The Adelaide Test is not a day-night Test this year. That breaks the usual convention and it is easy to assume otherwise. All four New Zealand Tests are day matches; the only pink-ball game of the season is the 150th Anniversary Test at the MCG in March.
India is in Bangladesh right now and it is not in the table. The Bangladesh board announced dates but never published grounds or start times, and we could not confirm the matches are being played — that tour has been postponed twice already. A row saying “venue unknown, time unknown” helps nobody.
Some start times are not confirmed. The Zimbabwe and South Africa starts come from secondary schedule sites rather than the boards themselves; those carry a ?. The dates and venues for those tours are firm.
Nothing after March 2027, except the Ashes tour. Boards publish about a year ahead. The World Test Championship final is at The Oval on 9–13 June 2027 — Australia currently lead the table but have not qualified, with twelve championship Tests still to play.
Fixture wrong, or a venue changed? We would rather be told than be wrong — tell us about this page. And if there is something you wish this site covered and it does not, tell us that too.
