The first Test of the series went ahead as planned on 17 November, despite Christchurch suffering a 7.8 magnitude earthquake, just after midnight on 14 November.[5] However, no play was possible on the first day due to rain.[6]
New Zealand won the series 2–0. This was New Zealand's first series win against Pakistan in Tests since 1985.[7][8]
Azhar Ali was appointed Pakistan's captain for the second Test after Misbah-ul-Haq left the tour after the death of his father-in-law.[11] Misbah-ul-Haq was later given a one-match suspension by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for Pakistan's slow over rate in the first Test, and he would have missed the second Test because of this.[12]Mitchell Santner replaced James Neesham in New Zealand's squad ahead of the second Test.[13]Trent Boult was ruled out of the second Test with a knee injury and was replaced by Doug Bracewell.[14]
Misbah-ul-Haq became the first player to captain Pakistan in 50 Tests.[15]
Colin de Grandhomme became the eighth New Zealand player to take a five-wicket haul on debut and also took the best figures on debut for New Zealand in a Test.[16]
Neil Wagner (NZ) took his 100th Test wicket, becoming the second fastest New Zealand bowler to reach this milestone in Test cricket.[17]
