Chappell–Hadlee Trophy Explained

The Chappell–Hadlee Trophy in cricket is a One Day International & Twenty20 International cricket series between Australia and New Zealand.^[3] It is named after legendary cricketing families from the two countries: the Chappell brothers (Ian, Gregory, and Trevor) of Australia, and Walter Hadlee and his three sons (Barry, Dayle and Sir Richard) of New Zealand.^{[4] [5]} Australia have recorded eight series wins to New Zealand's four.^[6]

In February 2024, both Cricket Australia (CA) and New Zealand Cricket (NZC) announced that, the trophy will be contested over both ODI and T20I formats in order to increase its exposure and profile.^[7] The change also meant that when the two teams face off in back-to-back ODI and T20I series, there would be a points structure including both formats so as to prevent the trophy from changing hands within days.^[8]

The trophy was contested annually from 2004–05 until 2009–10 as a three- or five-match series, and as a one-match series during the group stage of the World Cups in 2011 and 2015. Although the 2015 Cricket World Cup Final was also contested between the same teams, that game was not considered to be a part of this trophy.^[9] The 2017–18 edition was replaced with the 2017–18 Trans-Tasman Tri-Series, but the series partially went ahead as planned in Australia in 2019–20.^[10] With only one ODI being played in 2019–20 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, Cricket Australia confirmed the fixtures for a rescheduled three match ODI series against New Zealand, ultimately being played in September 2022 after being postponed numerous times.^{[11] [12] [13] [14] [15]}

Trophy history

Chappell–Hadlee Trophy matches have seen several notable results and records broken:

• New Zealand has completed three notably large run chases in Chappell–Hadlee Trophy matches. In the third ODI in 2005–06 in Christchurch, New Zealand, successfully chased Australia's total of 332, setting a new record for the highest run chase in ODI history; this record was surpassed by South Africa later in the 2005–06 season. Then, in the 2006–07 series, New Zealand successfully chased 336 in the second ODI in Auckland, and successfully chased 346 in the third ODI in Hamilton. For a time, these three matches were the second, third and fourth-highest run chases in ODI history.
• In the first ODI in 2006–07 in Wellington, Australia was beaten by 10 wickets for the first time in ODI history. This was Australia's 646th ODI match.
• After its loss in the second ODI in 2006–07 in Auckland, Australia lost the top spot in the ICC ODI Championship for the first time since the standings were introduced in October 2002, ending a streak of 52 consecutive months at the top.
• In the third ODI in 2006–07 in Hamilton, Matthew Hayden scored 181 not out for Australia in the first innings, setting a new record for the highest individual innings by an Australian batsman; this record stood until 2011. Craig McMillan then scored a century in 67 balls in the second innings, which (until 1 January 2014, when both Corey Anderson (off 36 balls) and Jesse Ryder (off 46 balls) broke this record in the 3rd ODI vs West Indies in Queenstown) was the fastest ever ODI century by a New Zealand batsman.
