EDIT: Due to a ‘significant government security alert’ New Zealand’s tour of Pakistan has been abandoned.
The first time New Zealand toured Pakistan was way back in 1955 where a 3-match test series took place between the national sides for the first time. Of the test series, Pakistan won 2 games and drew the 3rd. Since then, New Zealand have visited Pakistan 8 times with more success in later meetings.
Previous Tours of Pakistan
The second tour of Pakistan by the New Zealand national cricket team took place in 1965, another 3-match test that finished the same way as it had 10 years earlier. Teams did not have to wait so long for the next tour that took place in 1969 and saw New Zealand’s first victory in Pakistan. The 69 New Zealand team came out on top in the second match by 5 wickets and drew the 1st and 3rd giving them the series. The last tour of Pakistan in 2003 involved a 5-match ODI (One Day International) of which Pakistan won all 5 with an impressive 356 runs by Yasir Hameed.
2021-22 Tour of Pakistan
The next tour of Pakistan by New Zealand is set to take place in October 2021 and will consist of 3 ODI’s and 5 Twenty20 International matches. The Black Caps current captain Kane Williamson suffered an elbow injury during the tour or England in June however is looking to return for their visit to Pakistan.
Our Predictions
The last time New Zealand played Pakistan was on home turf back in January of which the Black Caps won 2 tests to 0. This year has been great for New Zealand going on to beat Australia 3 tests to 2, Bangladesh 3 – 0 and England 1 – 0 In June. Pakistan have also claimed some good wins this year with T20 and test victories over South Africa between January and April. It is anybody’s game in this competition although Williamson’s injury might affect New Zealand’s play in favour of Pakistan this October.
