first T20I between New Zealand and India had Blackcaps setting a target of 203 for India but Men in Blue chased this high total with a lot of ease and even with overs to spare. This brought attention to high-scoring nature of ground which could be credited t to its pitch but its ridiculously small boundaries. straight boundary at Eden Park was barely 55 metres long and this lack of length allowed batsman to smack sixes at ground for fun. Similar results were seen in second match of series which was also played at same ground.

While speaking to a cricket portal, Harsha Bhogle brought up this topic and expressed his view that international cricket should t be played at small grounds like Eden Park in Auckland. Bhogle ackwledged herit and history that has been linked to Eden Park and he also talked about different boundary dimensions that have been experimented with at ground. However, Bhogle maintained that t only are modern batsmen stronger but ir bats also make m more capable of hitting big sixes.

In such a scenario, a small ground like Eden Park can inflate scores heavily. In typical Harsha Bhogle fashion, famous commentator even proceeded to sarcastically predict that cricket may soon be played on TV sets if grounds keep shrinking. ground also earned some flak for its small boundaries in 2018 when Australia completed a record chase of 244 at same ground against New Zealand in just 18.5 overs. India will w face New Zealand at Hamilton as y lead series, 2-0.
