New Zealand cricket team in Pakistan in 1969–70
International cricket tour
The New Zealand national cricket team toured Pakistan in October and November 1969 and played a three-match Test series against the Pakistan national cricket team. New Zealand won the Test series 1–0. New Zealand were captained by Graham Dowling and Pakistan by Intikhab Alam.[1]
New Zealand had just finished their Test campaigns in England and India.
This was the first ever series win by New Zealand after almost 40 years and 30 consecutive winless series.[2]
The last match of the series was played at the Dacca Stadium in Dacca, East Pakistan (present-day Bangladesh). This was the last Test match played in East Pakistan before the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971, after which Test cricket did not return to the country until the Bangladesh national cricket team made its Test debut in 2000 against India.[3]
