Pakistan is all set to face New Zealand in the upcoming ODI and T20I series, starting September 17. Both teams will play three ODIs and five T20Is.
Some star Kiwi players will not be available for this tour due to their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 commitments. Tom Latham will captain the Black Caps in the absence of regular skipper Kane Williamson.
Pakistan last played an ODI leg against England when they suffered a 0-3 clean-sweep against the second-string side captained by Ben Stokes. Similarly, New Zealand are also coming from a 2-3 loss in the T20I series against Bangladesh.
