The dates of Australia and New Zealand’s upcoming away cricket meetings against Pakistan have been finalised. Playing in UAE, while Australia will play two-match bilateral Test series and three-match bilateral T20I series, New Zealand will play three-match bilateral T20I series, three-match bilateral ODI series and three-match bilateral Test series.
After Pakistan will begin their new cricket season through the 2018 Asia Cup in UAE that will run from September 15 to 28, the Asian country will play bilateral series against Australia and New Zealand in UAE that will be organised at Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Pakistan vs Australia
Before the start of the short encounters, Australia will play a four-day warm-up game against Pakistan A. Then Australia will begin that international tour with the two-match Test series that will be played – October 7-11 and October 16-20.
It will be the first Test series for Australian cricket team since their controversial ball-tampering scandal in the Cape Town Test in last March during the South Africa tour.
After the two-match Test series, both teams will meet for the three-match T20I series that have been scheduled to be played on October 24, 26 and 28.

After Australia will complete their UAE tour, New Zealand will begin their journey in the UAE tour. The Black Caps will begin through the three-match T20I series (October 31, November 2 and 4) and then followed by three-match ODI series (November 7, 9 and 11) and three-match Test series (November 16-20, 24-28 and December 3-7).
