Pakistan and Bangladesh are on tour of New Zealand for a tri-nation T20I series, beginning Friday, October 7.
New Zealand will host Pakistan and Bangladesh for a tri-nation T20I series, beginning Friday, October 7. The series serves as a great preparation opportunity for each of the three teams in the build-up to the T20 World Cup 2022, which begins on October 16 in Australia.
New Zealand’s last international assignment was the three-match Chappell Hadlee ODI series in Australia in September, wherein they were clean swept 0-3. Pakistan step into the competition on the back of a narrow 3-4 defeat in a closely fought seven-match T20I series against England at home, while Bangladesh defeated the UAE 2-0 in T20Is last week.
Each of the three teams will play the other two twice each in a round-robin format, with the top two contesting in the final on Friday, October 14. The Hagley Oval in Christchurch will host each of the seven games.
