Women's Cricket World Cup welcomes bigger crowd numbers

From First Up, 5:54 am on 25 March 2022

From midnight tonight the limits on the number of people permitted to gather outside will be lifted. There remains a limit of 200 people in indoor venues, but stadiums will now be able to welcome in full crowds. It comes in the nick of time for the back half of the women's cricket world cup, which until now has had a limit of 20 per cent usual capacity. Joining Nathan Rarere is the tournament's chief executive Andrea Nelson.
