Pakistani cricket team in New Zealand in 1964–65 - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Pakistan national cricket team toured New Zealand from December 1964 to February 1965 and played a three-match Test series against the New Zealand team. All three Tests were drawn.

Pakistan also played first-class matches against all six Plunket Shield teams, two non-first-class matches against minor provincial teams, and a first-class match against a President's XI. Of these matches Pakistan won four and drew five, so they went through the tour undefeated.^[1]
