Very few countries have played this format against each other as often. It started at Newlands on 22 September 2007, Pakistan winning by six wickets in the first World T20, and long bilateral tours in both directions have kept it busy since - five-match series are the norm here rather than the exception.

Pakistan won the first four meetings and led comfortably for a decade before New Zealand caught up. New Zealand have won fifteen of the T20Is played in the 2020s to Pakistan's eleven, and for years at a time the two have rarely been separated by more than a match.

Eden Park has produced the extremes. New Zealand's 226 for 8 there in January 2024 is the biggest total in the fixture, and Pakistan's 207 for 1 at the same ground in March 2025 - a nine-wicket win chasing 205 - is their own best. Their most recent meeting, at Colombo in February 2026, was abandoned without a ball bowled.
