prehistory

classification

Both teams played a full tour against each other in November 2014 in the United Arab Emirates . Since New Zealand co-hosted the World Cup, it was very attractive for Pakistan to hold another tour against New Zealand. Between the two tours, New Zealand held another home tour against Sri Lanka , which ended just before the games of this tour.
