New Zealand Vs Pakistan
These 2 months have been very hectic for the New Zealand cricket team as they first visited Sri Lanka and then they hosted Sri Lanka, and now within 2 days of the series getting ended with Sri Lanka, New Zealand have a match up against Pakistan.
It will be a series of just 2 ODI matches, just before the warm-up matches of World Cup start.
New Zealand will face Pakistan at the Westpac Stadium,Wellington on 31st January,2015 (1 00 hours GMT).
In what might be the shortest turnaround between completely separate series, New Zealand farewell the Sri Lanka side they have dominated, and rejoin battle against Pakistan, who had tested them, across formats, in the UAE.
Barely 40 hours will have passed between the final ball of the previous tour, and the first ball of the next.
Pakistan are missing a key bowler as Junaid Khan continues to recover from a nerve-related thigh injury, but as ever, their bowling talents are so wicked and varied, it is more a conspiracy than an attack.
There is Mohammed Irfan and his thunderbolts from the sky, Shahid Afridi's busy legbreaks set off by unearthly Pathan strength .
