PAK vs NZ: Pakistan is all set to face New Zealand in the upcoming ODI and T20I series, starting September 17. Both teams are scheduled to play three ODIs and five T20Is.
Meanwhile, the first match of the three-match ODI series between Pakistan and New Zealand will be played on Friday, September 17 at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
Some big names from New Zealand will not be available for this tour due to their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 commitments. Tom Latham will lead the Black Caps in the absence of their regular skipper Kane Williamson. Tom Blundell has also been ruled out of the match after sustaining a left quad strain.
Pakistan, on the other hand, last played an ODI against England when they faced an embarrassing 0-3 whitewash against the second-string team led by Ben Stokes.
