Pakistan vs New Zealand Head to Head: The SportsRush presents for you the Head to Head statistics for the PAK vs NZ T20 World Cup match.

The 19th match of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2021 between Pakistan and New Zealand will be played in Sharjah tonight. The high-profile clash will be the first time when Pakistan and New Zealand will face each other after New Zealand’s abandoned tour of Pakistan just over a month ago.

Entering into this match, Pakistan wouldn’t have been more confident than defeating arch-rivals India by 10 wickets in their T20 World Cup opener. As far as their record at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium is concerned, Pakistan have won and lost a match each out of their two outings here – the last of which had come way back in 2015.

New Zealand, who are coming on the back of facing defeats in two warm-up matches against Australia and England, have a daunting challenge lying in front of them in the form of Pakistan. Just like it is their first match of this tournament, it is also their first T20I at this venue.
