Pakistan vs New Zealand Warm-Up Match will be played today at 1:30 PST at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad.

Pakistan will take on New Zealand in its first and third ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 warm-up game.

Today on Sep 29, the other two warm-up games are also scheduled; Bangladesh will face Sri Lanka in Guwahati, and South Africa will take on Afghanistan in Thiruvananthapuram. A day earlier, the green shirts held their first practice session after receiving a warm welcome at Hyderabad airport upon their arrival in India.

The Pakistan vs New Zealand Warm-Up Match will be held behind closed doors without spectators. This decision comes in response to possible security issues as recommended by local security authorities in Hyderabad, the match’s designated venue, coinciding with ongoing festivals in the area.

According to the ICC rule and like other Cricket World Cup tournaments, the warm-up matches will consist of 50 overs per side. However, these games won’t be counted as ODI status because teams will have the flexibility to include all 15 members of their squad in the playing XI.
