A group of Wellington cricket players have been left bruised and battered, after a social Twenty20 match turned into violent chaos over the weekend.

The Upper Hutt United Cricket Club Bharat XI team faced off against the Hutt District Cricket Club Royal Blues at Trentham Park in Upper Hutt on Saturday, but it’s alleged a disagreement over an umpire’s call saw things take a serious turn.

Video appears to show players beating each other with cricket equipment in the sunny field while spectators watched on.

One player, who the Herald has agreed not to name, shared photos of their bruised body, alleging players were “smashing each other with bats and stumps”.

“The fight started due to the umpire decision, which turned into heated argument,” they said.

Photos show a player’s grazed and reddened abdomen, bruised thighs and their fingers bandaged up.

Players were left bruised after a violent scrap during a social cricket match at Trentham Park in Upper Hutt on Saturday.

Cricket Wellington said it is aware of the reports of the scrap.

“Cricket Wellington, and both clubs involved, Hutt District Cricket Club and Upper Hutt Cricket Club, take all matters of player and participant safety extremely seriously,” a spokeswoman for the organisation said.

“At this stage, we are in the process of understanding exactly what occurred.

“Once all relevant information has been gathered, we will fully support the disciplinary process outlined in the Cricket Wellington Code of Conduct to ensure appropriate action is taken.”

One social player's fingers were bandaged after the violent scrap.

The players were filmed hitting each other with bats.

The Royal Blues won by forfeit, scoring 8-155 (20). The Upper Hutt United squad scored 1-24 (3).

The teams involved have been contacted for comment.

Police said they were not aware of the incident.
