[vinnomot] NZ to hold charity matches for Bangladesh

Cricket: NZ to hold charity matches for Bangladesh

12:35PM Tuesday December 04, 2007

New Zealand Cricket will hold two Twenty20 cricket matches in Hamilton on December 23 to raise funds for cyclone stricken Bangladesh.

In the most devastated areas up to 50 per cent of crops and trees have been destroyed and World Vision is attempting to raise $300,000 to help.

The charity games will replace Bangladesh's one-day match against Northern Districts.

New Zealand Cricket CEO Justin Vaughan said the first game will feature a Masters Eleven playing against the New Zealand under 19 team.

The second game will pit Bangladesh against a New Zealand side captained by Stephen Fleming.

The match will not have full international status.
