The series was originally scheduled to start in Karachi on April 13 but has been delayed one day and will now begin in Lahore on April 14. Before heading to Rawalpindi for the final two T20Is and the opening ODI, New Zealand will play three T20 Internationals in Lahore. The final four One-Day Internationals will be played in Karachi before the trip concludes on May 7.
The PCB also made certain changes to the tour’s schedule for the following ODI leg. As originally scheduled, the ODI series will still start on April 26 and conclude on May 7. The second, third, and fourth one-day internationals, however, have been shifted to April 30, May 3, and May 5, respectively. Despite not being a part of the ICC Cricket World Cup Super League, the ODIs will nevertheless help both countries prepare for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 later this year.
