New Zealand cricket team in Pakistan in 2002

The New Zealand national cricket team was due to tour Pakistan in September to October 2001 but the tour was cancelled for security reasons in the wake of the World Trade Center attack on 11 September 2001. Three Tests had been scheduled at Arbab Niaz Stadium, Peshawar; Iqbal Stadium, Faisalabad; and the National Stadium, Karachi. Instead, New Zealand visited Pakistan in April to May 2002 and played a two-match Test series against the Pakistani national cricket team, but the tour was cut short following 2002 Karachi bus bombing. Pakistan won the Test series 1–0. New Zealand were captained by Stephen Fleming and Pakistan by Waqar Younis. In addition, the teams played a three-match Limited Overs International (LOI) series which Pakistan won 3–0.[1]

Test series summary

1st Test at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore – Pakistan won by an innings and 324 runs[2]
2nd Test at National Stadium, Karachi – match cancelled for security reasons after a bomb exploded near the New Zealand team's hotel two hours before the scheduled start of play[3]
