England Cricket comes to Bristol on Sunday 26 June 2016 - Tickets still available
Posted on: 22 Jun 2016Eoin Morgan brings his England side to The Brightside Ground in Bristol for the third game of the five game ODI series against Sri Lanka. There are still a small number of tickets remaining for the game on Sunday 26 June 2016 so act quickly!
After a dramatic tie - yes a tie - thanks to Liam Plunkett’s six on the very last ball of the game at Trent Bridge means we still don’t know how this series will play out. England have struggled in the 50 over format of the game lately and find themselves sixth in the ICC rankings, one spot behind Sri Lanka. On paper it looks like a pretty evenly matched series and a tie goes a long way to confirming that.
England’s top order will be looking to contribute far more in the next game at Edgbaston after struggling hugely on what was a great batting track in Nottingham. A solid performance will hopefully see them head to The Brightside Ground in Bristol 1-0 up in the series and ready to entertain the soon-to-be sold out crowd of over 15,000.
The Brightside Ground had undergone major redevelopment in the past few years and is now an impressive cathedral of cricket. A worth setting for an England international. The game-day experience is superb and caters to spectators of all ages – it really is set to be a carnival of cricket.
Demand for this game has been huge and only a select few tickets are still available. There are 3 bands of tickets, priced £45, £55 and £65 for adults and £15, £20 and £25 for under 16s. You can find out more and purchase them online via the ticketing website, by calling Gloucestershire County Cricket Club on 0117 910 8010 or popping into reception at The Brightside Ground - Nevil Road, Bristol. BS7 9EJ.
