Pakistan National Cricket Team Vs New Zealand National Cricket Team Match Scorecard highlights Abbas, Kelly, and Seifert making their ODI debuts as New Zealand won a rain-shortened match, while Hasan Nawaz also made his T20I debut.

ODI

An One Day International (ODI) is a form of cricket in which teams have a set number of overs to score as many runs as possible in an innings.

These matches typically occur during international tours and represent the pinnacle of limited-overs cricket; additionally they form part of every four year World Cup event.

First introduced in 1979 as an opportunity for players to challenge top competition quickly against shorter series games, the ODI format quickly established itself as one of cricket’s premier forms.

Pakistan struggled to make their run chase count as they continuously lost wickets during the chase and were bowled out for just 164 in their last over.

Meanwhile, both Williamson and Mitchell played outstanding innings to propel New Zealand to an impressive total on an uneven pitch.

The Kiwi bowlers were brilliant at getting the ball to spin and turn on an overly-sluggish pitch, taking three wickets between Santner and Bracewell with Henry providing superb fielding and catching that made it difficult for Pakistani batsman to play their natural game.

New Zealand and Pakistan have faced off in 122 one-day internationals (ODIs). Of those, New Zealand have won 57 while Pakistan have claimed 61 victories. 3 matches ended without any clear outcome and one resulted in a tie.

Pakistan is currently dominating New Zealand in T20 matches, winning 13 out of 21 contests between them. On the other hand, New Zealand boasts an excellent all-time ODI record, second in terms of wins with 71 victories against 51 defeats – as well as boasting an excellent win-loss ratio against Pakistan of 6:4.

T20I

Pakistan and New Zealand share one of the fiercest rivalries in world cricket, often producing intense and entertaining matches between two completely distinct styles of play.

Matches between them tend to be even, and one misplay can change its entire course; great batsmen and bowlers from both teams have helped create this rivalry with notable performances under immense pressure during tense matches that often end with stunning scorecards.

Rivalry between Pakistan and New Zealand reached new heights when both teams met in the T20 World Cup.

Stadiums became louder, tension was thicker, and every run became increasingly crucial – Pakistan showed off raw talent while New Zealand relied on planning and discipline – an over could flip the game and leave fans with the sense that history was being created right in their midst.

New Zealand had previously shown their dominance with the ball; Kyle Jamieson took three wickets during Pakistan’s powerplay to put them under pressure.

Tim Seifert and Finn Allen provided New Zealand with a solid start, yet Pakistan were ultimately let down – only Shaheen Shah Afridi managed to reach double figures.

New Zealand easily won in Dunedin, winning by five wickets with an over to spare. Due to their subpar showing with bat and ball, Pakistan must reassess their tactics and improve in this series.

Pakistan have endured an uneven start to this series against New Zealand, being outplayed and out-tacticated at home by them. Yet they’re still in contention and should secure two wins within four games in order to take a 2-0 advantage in this contest.

Test

Few moments in international cricket can match the excitement of two teams competing in a Test match. When Pakistan and New Zealand clash in five-day Tests, the stakes are always high and every ball played with intent.

Over the years, these rivals have produced numerous unforgettable moments: great batters have scored towering hundreds that turned losing positions into victories while bowlers delivered devastating spells which stopped momentum altogether – these matches become high-pressured affairs where records fall and moments change entire series!

Early in their rivalry, New Zealand were known for being a disciplined side that preferred playing longer games; Pakistan were young nation filled with raw pace bowlers and fearless batsmen who played instinctively – both sides brought unique styles that clashed excitingly, leading to one of the greatest rivalries ever witnessed in sport history.

The first Test series between these sides took place at Dacca in East Pakistan in 1955. Pakistan won it 2-1 but this victory was marred by allegations of spot-fixing. Over subsequent years, they met frequently for Tests and ODIs with Pakistan dominating.

As time progressed, both teams increased their bowling attacks and batting depth, competing for supremacy around the world and intensifying the series against one another. Pakistan eventually fell behind New Zealand in one-day internationals (ODIs), but retained Test supremacy with multiple home series wins against New Zealand.

Once the batsmen took control, the rivalry truly reached new levels of intensity. Pakistan was home to elegant stroke players capable of turning a game on its head within one session; New Zealand countered with technically sound batsmen adept at wearing down attacks – leading to scores full of stubborn fifties and significant centuries from this era.

Both teams have endured ups and downs over time, yet have remained powerful contenders in international cricket. Pakistan had a difficult tour to New Zealand in 2025 but managed to come away victorious from three ODIs and an ICC Champions Trophy match winnining three ODIs and an ICC Champions Trophy match victory.

Series

Pakistan, located in South Asia, has made waves on the international cricket stage with its legendary matches against some of the best teams. Pakistan is best-known for its fiery rivalries against India; these matches often end up packed stadiums and emotionally charged atmospheres. Unfortunately, Pakistani cricketers also tend to display inconsistent performances that hinder their performance; their talented players often lack discipline which hinders performance levels.

However, the team has enjoyed significant international cricket success despite these odds. Twice they won the T20 World Cup and regularly finished in the top four of Test rankings; furthermore there are numerous celebrated players who have left their mark on the game.

Pakistani cricket team has also faced significant controversy, with allegations of match-fixing. In the 1990s, however, Pakistan was among the dominant teams worldwide and had world-class fast bowlers like Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Shoaib Malik on its side – all three reaching the 1999 World Cup Final while allegations of match-fixing trailed them throughout.

In 2023, Pakistan traveled to New Zealand for two ODIs and three T20Is which ended up with an even score. Notable about this series is that New Zealand played one game at Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium in Abu Dhabi for the first time; over 40,000 spectators turned out for that match alone!

Pakistan began the match by scoring 213 runs in their initial power play overs, but then lost wickets throughout the middle overs to struggle chasing their target of 263.

Ish Sodhi and Rangana Herath took several wickets that caused a strain in Pakistan’s batting which could not hold onto its momentum. Mohammad Hafeez scored 42 before falling short of reaching 100.
