The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is set to host a five-match T20 international series against New Zealand in April as Pakistan has hosted a number of international teams in the last few years.
With the Window of 18 to 27 April, New Zealand will Play 5 T20Is. The Pakistan Cricket Board on Wednesday said that the Black Caps will play three T20Is at the Pindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi on 18, 20 and 21 April. Following that, both teams will meet at Lahore, where they will play the remaining two T20Is of the series on 25 and 27 April, respectively.
