Pakistan's record against New Zealand in New Zealand is beginning to mirror their struggles in Australia

Since the last time Pakistan won a Test and ODI series in 2011, Pakistan has struggled badly in New Zealand in the last 14 years

Pakistan tour to New Zealand 2015

- Brief tour before the 2025 ODI WC, Pakistan lost both ODI's 2-0

Pakistan tour to New Zealand 2015

- T-20 and ODI tour, Pakistan lost the T-20 series 2-1 and lost the ODI Series 2-0

Pakistan tour to New Zealand 2016

- Test tour, Pakistan lost the test series 2-0

Pakistan tour to New Zealand 2020-2021

- T20 and Test tour, Pakistan lost the T-20 series 2-1 and lost the test series 2-0

Pakistan tour to New Zealand T-20 Tri Series 2022

- Pakistan lost only one game vs New Zealand in which they were trashed badly but they overall won all their other games vs New Zealand in the group stage, Bangladesh and beat New Zealand in the final.

Pakistan tour to New Zealand 2024

- T20 Series, New Zealand trashed Pakistan 4-1

Pakistan tour to New Zealand 2025

- T20 and ODI series, New Zealand trashed Pakistan 4-1 in the T-20 Series and are looking hot favourites to trash us 3-0 in the ODI series

In fairness to the present team in the current series, the conditions in New Zealand i.e. the excessive pace, bounce, sideways movement was a nightmare to deal with and the NZ pace attack allowed no respite to the Pakistani batting line up. The batters were not helped by the incompetent bowlers they had in their team who have failed to exploit the conditions on offer.

PCB needs to be very careful here as our SENA record is going to dog **** and it wont be long before the likes of Australia, South Africa and New Zealand refuse to invite us on account of a lack of competition and quality.
 
You missed out the 5-0 ODI series loss in 2018, right after CT win. Pakistan did win the T20I series though.

Pakistan is becoming a minnow team due to total mismanagement and politics. Talent to bohot Hai.

People confuse having some quality and ability with talent. Some will have some quality and ability which most teams will overcome and counter as time goes on, but real talent exhibits it regularly with match winnings performances and ability which most teams will not have consistent answers for no matter how much homework and planning they do. Like Shoaib Akhtar said in a recent interview, someone just doesn't become talented just on the basis of statements and comments, real talent is all about scoring impactful match winning runs and getting wickets consistently to win games for your country.

But Pakistani players have is some quality and ability when they come into the team and ultimately no answers when other team's get the better of them.

Because there is no cohesiveness and stability in terms of management. Even the most skilled cannot sustain excellence in that case.

Don't fully agree with this. Management does not hold the bat and ball for the players when they go on the field. You get from the game what you put in and Pakistani players are notorious for slacking from hard work when it comes to their skills, nutrition, fitness. The only blame on the PCB is being soft on these players for so long and treating, pampering them like superstars when their performances haven't warranted it.

So if a PCB head knows he will be there for next 4 years no matter what happens he can demand certain excellence from players. Players are to blame but your organisation needs to create an environment of excellence it's rotten from top to bottom. Get someone like Rahul and Ganguly at top I bet these players will improve or perish.
 
New Zealand used to be our bogey team, we have somehow got better of them since 2023 World Cup, but they are haunting Pakistan now.

It’s now even in odi World Cup events

And 6-5 leading vs nz in odi icc events

Only t20 they are ahead in icc events but they never played when we were at our best. We will thrash them now and h2)h record shows the difference in quality

Pakistan situation is worse because NZ is playing random team and Pakistan still losing it. But this is not just NZ. If all the teams field full strength teams Pakistan will struggle against all of them. I am curious to see how BD series goes. I expect pak to beat them convincingly. If pak loses to them that is massive earning sign.
 
PAKISTAN IN LAST 12 ODIs IN NEW ZEALAND vs NEW ZEALAND:

Lost, Lost, Lost, Lost, Lost, Lost, Lost, Lost, Lost, Lost, Lost, Lost.

pakistan is not a minnow team and probably won't be in future if something really goes bad. They were always a mid tier team in the last two decades with moments of brilliance. Right now they are mid tier team trending towards lower side of the mid tier. They are too big a country which has only one major sport. They will always be competitive against mid tier teams. if they get their s*** together they can be at the lower end of top tier or upper end of mid tier. Only BD is a minnow among major test playing nations.

This lot was around when Ehsan Mani and Wasim Khan were heading the PCB from 2018 to 2021 and they had 3 years of stable PCB leadership, even then their performances left a lot to be desired. This lot will get rid of Ganguly and Dravid in a heartbeat because they are deep down badniyat individuals who have hijacked Pakistan Cricket and they know they can survive on the basis of their family relationships, personal relationships, political connections, franchise connections.
 
You are forgetting an ODI tour where NZ whitewashed Pak 5-0 in 2018. However, Pak won the T20’s 3-2.

Pakistan cricket died a long time ago. Pak fans just live by to see an odd surprise here and there.
 
Pakistani fans sometimes are too pessimistic

Pakistan has one of the better records against NZ among the SENA countries.

That's why I am talking about stable leadership which players respect and know that they cannot get rid off. You think these guys love losing. There is a deep down culture problem starting from PCB itself and that needs to be resolved. Players will come and go. The next lot after these guys retire will behave the same if not changed.
 
NZ is still crap, it’s Pakistan that’s become the new Zimbabwe.
NZ full strength side isn't crap, their the 3rd strongest odi team after Aus and India. Their stronger then sa and England and their current c string and d string team can thrash anyone outside sena and India, Afghanistan included.

Their not exactly a weak jobber side.

I agree Pakistan is poor but claiming NZ is crap when their literally a top tier side is crazy. Infact their B string is stronger then Aus b string.

Although knowing aus, aus will eventually surpass them, the likes of ownes and konstas will bloom eventually

Yes NZ beat us in CT 2000 final, we beat them in 2025 CT final.

They beat us in WC 2019 semifinal, we beat them in 2023 WC.

NZ beat us in WTC 2021 final, we have that haar ka badla to take.

Pakistan, despite that record. England look awful in all departments.

They have a series win against us & did well even in UAE. Our test record against them in RSA is the same as our record in Australia from 99. Yes, we did win against them in Pak the last time they toured but this isn't a statistically 100% accurate post, it's just a metaphor for our fall & our performance against top teams.
