New Zealand vs Pakistan Head to Head in Test Cricket
New Zealand and Pakistan have faced each other in 62 Test matches, the first in 1955 and the latest beginning on 2 January 2023. Pakistan have won 25 and New Zealand 14, with 23 drawn or ended without a result. Pakistan lead by 11. The highest innings total New Zealand have made against Pakistan is 690, against Pakistan's best of 643. The lowest completed innings are 70 and 102 respectively. New Zealand batters have scored 43 centuries here, Pakistan batters 66. For the match-by-match detail, look at the table above. Last updated 9 September, 2026.
An innings-and-one-run win for Pakistan in October 1955 opened the account, and they owned the first forty years of the fixture almost completely - four Tests to none through the 1970s, eight to two in the 1990s. New Zealand did not win a series against Pakistan until 1985 and have never won one in Pakistan.
Their record has improved sharply since 2010, and the biggest total anyone has posted in these games belongs to that stretch: 690 in Sharjah in November 2014, still New Zealand's largest in any Test, made in a match Pakistan had opened with 351. They followed it at Hagley Oval in January 2021 with 659 for 6 declared and a win by an innings and 176 runs.
The fixture has been played across three countries. Pakistan's home Tests against New Zealand were staged in the United Arab Emirates from 2009 to 2018 while international cricket was suspended at home, which is why so many of these matches are listed at Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah. The two most recent, at Karachi in December 2022 and January 2023, were both drawn on flat pitches.
