After loads of T20 franchise cricket, the action now shifts to international matches. Pakistan, who last played ODI cricket against South Africa, will be up against the same team and New Zealand starting on February 8. This series will be vital for all three teams as the Champions Trophy looms, which begins on February 19.
For South Africa and New Zealand, this series will be all the more crucial as it gives them a chance to know the conditions and weather ahead of the Champions Trophy. For Pakistan, it will be another chance to improve on their ODI form after having a stellar run of form last year.
While Proteas will be playing with a second-string team for the first ODI due to their mainstream players playing in the SA20 League, the Kiwis, and Pakistan will have full-strength squads.
