Cricket fans across the globe are in for a treat as the Pakistani Men's National Cricket Team gears up to take on South Africa & New Zealand in the highly anticipated Triangular ODI series. This bilateral event promises exciting and thrilling clashes between three giants of Cricket and the matches will be played at the National Cricket Stadium of Karachi and Gaddafi Stadium of Lahore, two iconic Cricket stadiums of Pakistan. 

The bilateral Triangular series event kicks off from the 8th of February with New Zealand and Pakistan taking on each other in the opening encounter. A total of four ODI games will be played including the final, with each team playing each other once. The two teams which secure the top two spots in the overall standings will advance to the all-important final. The summit clash of this event will be played on the 14th of February. 

The Mohammad Rizwan-led Pakistan head into the tri-series on the back of an impressive performance in South Africa, where they whitewashed the Aiden Markram-led Proteas 3-0 in the three-match One-Day International series in December of last year. 

New Zealand on the other hand, also has the support of winning momentum on their end as they are coming into this bilateral event after securing a hard-fought 2-1 ODI series win versus Sri Lanka on home soil in January. 

The South Africans haven't been in good form in the 50-over format and their last series was versus Pakistan where they got whitewashed. They will be hoping to turn things around this time around and reign supreme on Pakistani soil. 

This Triangular series between the three teams also gives them a perfect chance to prepare in a thorough manner ahead of Champions Trophy 2025. The Kiwis and the Proteas will also get a very good idea of how the pitches in Pakistan will react as they will be playing their Champions Trophy games on Pakistani soil.
