The Pakistan cricket team toured Scotland to play two Twenty20 International (T20I) matches at The Grange Club, Edinburgh, on 12 and 13 June 2018.[1][2] Pakistan last toured Scotland in May 2013 to play two One Day Internationals.[1] Both teams last met in a T20I fixture in the group stage of the 2007 ICC World Twenty20 tournament.[1] This was the first time that Scotland had played a home T20I match against a full member side.[3]

The tour followed Pakistan's tour of England and their one Test series in Ireland. England also played a single ODI against Scotland on 10 June at the same ground. In May 2018, Cricket Scotland named a provisional 24-man squad for the matches against England and Pakistan.[4] Pakistan took the two-match series 2–0, winning the first match by 48 runs and the second by 84 runs.[5]
