GABORONE, June 6 (Reuters) - New Zealand were held to a 0-0 draw by Botswana on Saturday as they failed to win for the second time on their brief African tour.

The Kiwis, warming up for this month's Confederations Cup in South Africa, lost 2-1 to Tanzania in Dar-es-Salaam last week and made nine changes to their lineup on Saturday.

New Zealand open their Confederations Cup campaign against European champions Spain in Rustenburg on June 14.
