On 4 February 2021, the tour dates were pushed back by one week, to allow for enough preparation and the logistics for quarantine due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[10] The T20I matches were played as double-headers alongside the women's fixtures between New Zealand and Australia.[11]
Ahead of the tour, New Zealand's captain Kane Williamson was ruled out of the ODI matches due to an elbow injury,[12] with Tom Latham named as captain in his place.[13] New Zealand won the first two ODIs, with Latham scoring an unbeaten century in the second match, winning the series with a game to spare.[14] New Zealand won the third and final ODI by 164 runs, to win the series 3–0.[15] New Zealand won the first two T20I matches to win the series with a game to spare.[16] New Zealand won the third T20I by 65 runs, to also win the series 3–0.[17]
