PCB Announces Schedule for Tri-Nation ODI Series Featuring New Zealand, South Africa, and Pakistan

Lahore: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Saturday announced the schedule for the tri-nation ODI series, featuring New Zealand, South Africa and host Pakistan ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy. 

“The series will be played on a single-league basis from February 8 to 14, with Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium hosting the opening two matches and Karachi’s National Bank Stadium staging the final league match and the final,” the PCB said in a statement.

Pakistan and New Zealand will kick off the series at the iconic Gaddafi Stadium on February 8. New Zealand will then face South Africa on February 10 in a day match.

The action will shift to Karachi, where Pakistan will take on South Africa on February 12 in a day/night match at the National Bank Stadium. The final will be played on February 14.

Both Pakistan and New Zealand are scheduled to train at the Gaddafi Stadium on February 6 under lights while South Africa’s first outing at the historic venue will be on the morning of February 9.

While the four matches at Gaddafi Stadium and National Bank Stadium will provide the three sides with an excellent opportunity to finalise preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, it will also be a perfect occasion for the PCB to showcase its redesigned and redeveloped venues to the world through its world-class broadcast.
