The Bert Sutcliffe Oval is a cricket ground at Lincoln University in Lincoln, New Zealand that has staged first-class matches as well as international matches for both women's and under-19 level cricket. Previously known as BIL Oval, in February 2001 the ground was renamed in honour of the New Zealand opening batsman at the request of benefactor Michael Watt.
The ground staged its maiden first-class match in November 1999 when England A played the North Island in the Shell Conference. It has since staged a number of A team matches as well as domestic fixtures including the 2009 State Championship final.First-Class Matches played on Bert Sutcliffe Oval, Lincoln, CricketArchive, Retrieved on 25 July 2009
