New Zealand's home summer of international cricket continues with the T20 double-headers beginning on Sunday. Both the Blackcaps and White Ferns line up to take on their respective South Africans opponents at Tauranga's Bay Oval.
Before that, Thursday night is packed with racing via Trackside, plus rugby league and Aussie Rules via SEN.
Friday sees the NZ Warriors hosting the Canberra Raiders - join Sam Hewat, Blake Ayshford and Anthony Gelling for another high-energy call as the Wahs look to build upon their opening round victory.
