NZ vs PAK T20 head to head record: New Zealand vs Pakistan T20 records

NZ vs PAK T20 head to head record: The SportsRush presents for you the Head to Head statistics for NZ vs PAK T20I.

The second match of New Zealand T20I Tri-Nation Series 2022 will be played between New Zealand and Pakistan in Christchurch tomorrow. While hosts New Zealand will be playing their first match of the series, it will be Pakistan’s second match in as many days.

Having started on a winning note against Bangladesh at the Hagley Oval today, Pakistan would be keen to gain a significant advantage by winning their second consecutive match and third consecutive against New Zealand.

It is noteworthy that Pakistan have a superior T20I head-to-head record against New Zealand. Having said that, the Black Caps have called the shots at home historically. Furthermore, one can’t ignore their recent form of winning nine and losing just one T20I in 2022. Hence, it would be safe to say that the match could go down to the wire on a Saturday evening.
