Beginning on the 9th of January, the Pakistan Cricket Team will take on New Zealand in a One-Day International series of three matches. The One-Day International Series is a competition that is a part of the World Super League. New Zealand is in second place with 130 points, while Pakistan is in sixth place with 120 points. New Zealand is in front of Pakistan in this competition. Both sides will compete in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 as qualifying participants.
