It took place between October 2018 and March 2019. Unlike the previous edition of the competition, the tournament featured eight rounds of matches, instead of ten.[1][2][3]Central Districts were the defending champions.[4] Up to eleven international players, including New Zealand’s captain Kane Williamson, were available for the opening round of the tournament.[5]In the opening round of fixtures, in the match between Central Districts and Canterbury, both teams declared one of their innings for no runs, in a rain-affected match, to ensure that a result was possible.[6][7] The same situation also happened in round seven of the tournament, with Auckland declaring their first innings for no runs and Canterbury declaring their innings on 22\/2 to get a result.[8]Ahead of the final round of fixtures, Central Districts had a fifteen point lead over Canterbury, needing just five more points to win the competition and retain their title.[9] However, following the Christchurch mosque shootings, Canterbury withdrew from their final game, against Wellington, therefore Central Districts retained their title.[10] It was the first time in more than fifty years that Central Districts had won back-to-back titles.[11]Table of ContentsPoints table[edit]Fixtures[edit]Round 1[edit]Round 2[edit]Round 3[edit]Round 4[edit]Round 5[edit]Round 6[edit]Round 7[edit]Round 8[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Points table[edit]\u00a0 ChampionsFixtures[edit]Round 1[edit]Canterbury won the toss and elected to field.No play was possible on days 2 and 3 due to rain.Northern Districts won the toss and elected to field.Auckland won the toss and elected to field.No play was possible on day 3 due to rain.Andrew Fletcher (Wellington) and Graeme Beghin (Auckland) both made their first-class debuts.Round 2[edit]Auckland won the toss and elected to field.Canterbury won the toss and elected to field.Jack Boyle (Canterbury) scored his maiden century in first-class cricket.[13]Otago won the toss and elected to field.Round 3[edit]Wellington won the toss and elected to field.Jakob Bhula and Ben Sears (Wellington) both made their first-class debuts.Auckland won the toss and elected to field.Round 4[edit]Auckland won the toss and elected to field.Wellington won the toss and elected to field.Otago won the toss and elected to bat.Round 5[edit]Central Districts won the toss and elected to bat.Todd Astle became the leading wicket-taker for Canterbury.[14]Stephen Murdoch (Canterbury) scored his 5,000th run in the Plunket Shield.[15]Northern Districts won the toss and elected to field.No play was possible on day 4 due to rain.Otago won the toss and elected to field.Tommy Clout (Otago) made his first-class debut.Round 6[edit]Wellington won the toss and elected to field.Central Districts won the toss and elected to bat.Max Chu (Otago) made his first-class debut.Auckland won the toss and elected to bat.Round 7[edit]Wellington won the toss and elected to bat.Auckland won the toss and elected to field.Northern Districts won the toss and elected to bat.Round 8[edit]Northern Districts won the toss and elected bat.Auckland won the toss and elected to field.William O’Donnell (Auckland) made his first-class debut.Mitch Renwick (Otago) scored his maiden century in first-class cricket.[16]Graeme Beghin (Auckland) scored his maiden century in first-class cricket.[17]References[edit]External links[edit]"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/2018-19-plunket-shield-season-wikipedia\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"2018\u201319 Plunket Shield season – Wikipedia"}}]}]
