New Zealand vs Pakistan T20I series in 2025：Nightmare of Pakistan T20I Record

Pakistan cricket is in a really bad shape right now. Fans are wondering if it can get any worse. Remember last year? Their Test team was a complete disaster – not only did they miss out on the World Test Championship final, but they also finished dead last.

So, okay, Test cricket was a lost cause, leaving them with just the shorter formats. But somehow, they’ve messed that up, too. In the recent New Zealand vs Pakistan T20I series in 2025, they gave everyone another reason to shake their heads and even set some seriously embarrassing records. Today, we will talk about the Men in Green’s failure in the Pakistan tour of New Zealand 2025.

Pakistan T20I Record Gets Humiliating Additions

The whole New Zealand vs Pakistan T20I series in 2025 was just brutal for Pakistan. Apart from that one game where they showed a bit of fight, it felt like they were barely even competing. Getting hammered 4-1 by a Kiwi side that was missing a bunch of their big names because of the IPL?

To make things even worse, they managed to stumble their way into setting some records you don’t want to be associated with. These embarrassing achievements are a stark reminder of just how far Pakistan cricket has fallen. Let’s take a look at some of these lowlights to understand the mess they were in on the Pakistan tour of New Zealand 2025.

1st T20I, Christchurch

Pakistan didn’t only lose the series opener by a massive nine wickets but also set the record for the biggest loss in Pakistan’s T20I history in terms of balls left. At the Hagley Oval, Pakistan crumbled at just 91 in the first innings, which the Kiwis chased without any problem in just 10.1 overs with 59 balls to spare.

2nd T20I, Dunedin

Pakistan lost this rain-marred thriller as well where the Pakistani bowlers failed to defend a respectable total. Among the collective failure of the bowlers, Shaheen Afridi stood out with an unusually disappointing feat. He joined the likes of Faheem Ashraf and Mohammad Sami to become yet another Pakistani bowler to have conceded the most number of sixes (4) in an over in T20Is.

3rd T20I, Auckland

Pakistani cricket fans took a sigh of relief as the top order led the Pakistan team to its second-highest run chase successfully while also making Pakistan’s third-highest score in T20Is. Thus, avoiding further contributing to the Pakistan T20I record adversely.

4th T20I, Mount Maunganui

In the fourth T20I, Pakistan suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of New Zealand, setting an undesirable record for the team. Compared to their 2016 loss to New Zealand, this was Pakistan’s worst loss in terms of runs (115) in their T20I history.

5th T20I, Wellington

The young opener of Pakistan, Hasan Nawaz, became a part of the list of embarrassing records of the Pakistan tour of New Zealand 2025. The 22-year-old got dismissed for a duck, and with back-to-back ducks in the first two games of the series, he became the first cricketer from a full-member nation to achieve this feat in a bilateral series.
