The WHITE FERNS and BLACKCAPS will return to Hagley Oval this summer for five international matches across all formats.
Sophie Devine’s side will take on Pakistan in the final two ODIs of their three-game series on December 15 and 18.
The teams’ last encounter at Hagley was in the 2022 ICC Women’s World Cup where the WHITE FERNS powered to a 71-run victory, Hannah Rowe took a 5-wicket bag and Suzie Bates claimed Hagley’s highest Women’s ODI score of 126 runs.
In the new year, the BLACKCAPS will face Pakistan in two T20s on January 19 and 21 and return in March for a blockbuster Test match against Australia on March 8-12.
Having last faced Australia in a Test at home in 2016, spectators can expect an intense battle when the Aussies roll in for the second and final Test of the series.

The New Zealand national cricket team, known as the Black Caps, made their Test debut in 1930 against England in Christchurch, becoming the fifth nation to play Test cricket. After waiting 26 years for their first Test win against the West Indies in 1956, they also played their first ODI in 1972–73 against Pakistan. New Zealand are the inaugural World Test Championship champions (2021) and have won the ICC Champions Trophy (2000). They have reached the Cricket World Cup final twice and the T20 World Cup final once.
