Cricket Club Zwolle fixtures
The season at a glance
From the first ball in May to the last over in August: this is what our cricket season looks like.
The season
In April we warm up with friendly matches. The KNCB league runs from early May to the end of August. After that we carry on with indoor cricket.
Home matches
We play our home matches at sportpark De Verbinding in Stadshagen, Zwolle. Come and watch from the boundary: spectators are always welcome.
Away matches
For away matches we travel to clubs across the country. In 2026 our opponents included Arnhem, Hilversum, Kampong, Phoenix, Qui Vive, Wanderers and Salland.
What a match day looks like
The first ball is at 13:00. The buzz starts an hour earlier.

12:00: turning a field into a cricket ground
Bags down, sleeves up. Sight screens up, boundary marked out, stumps in the ground. With every job the match gets closer.

Warm-up and the toss
Loosening up, hitting a few balls, butterflies in your stomach. Then the coin goes up. Does your captain win the toss? And is it the call you were hoping for: batting or bowling?

13:00: the first ball
Everything goes quiet. The bowler runs in. From now on every run, every catch and every wicket counts. A six over the boundary or stumps flying: you never know what the next ball will bring.
- 4
Lunch
At the break there is a score on the board and everyone sits down together. Eating, reliving that one catch and making plans for the second half.
- 5
The second innings: the chase
Now everyone knows what is needed. Will they reach the target, or will we defend it? It often comes down to the final overs, with the whole team on edge at the boundary.
- 6
Packing up and the third half
Handshakes, clearing the ground and then off to the clubhouse. There we play the match one more time, together with the opposition and a drink in hand. Win or lose: we will be back for the next one.
