New Zealand team will arrive in the capital city of Islamabad on April 14 and will play three T20Is at the Pindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi on April 18, 20 and 21.

\"In a testament to the unwavering camaraderie between Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and New Zealand Cricket (NZC), we are delighted to present the schedule for New Zealand men\u2019s team tour to Pakistan 2024. This tour symbolises the deep-rooted ties and mutual respect that define the relationship between our two cricketing nations.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Our avid cricket fans and the people of Pakistan will welcome the New Zealand team again and we hope to have yet another competitive series which is a key part of our buildup to this year\u2019s ICC T20 World Cup,\u201d said Usman Wahla, Director \u2013 International Cricket, PCB.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The coming tour of the Blackcaps will mark their third visit to Pakistan in the last 17 months. Previously, they had travelled to Pakistan from December 2022 to January 2023 to feature in two Tests and three ODIs. While the Test series finished in a 0-0 draw, New Zealand won the subsequent ODI series 2-1.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Later in April that year, they travelled to Lahore, Rawalpindi and Karachi to feature in 10 white-ball matches. In that tour, the five-match T20I series ended in a 2-2 draw while Pakistan claimed the ODI series 4-1. Earlier this year, Pakistan visited New Zealand but suffered a 4-1 series defeat in T20Is.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
