Zimbabwe vs New Zealand Match 6th T20I Preview

NZ vs ZIM Both Teams’ Last 5 T20I Record

Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe's T20I form has been inconsistent in recent matches. They have won only one match in the last 5 matches while losing the remaining 4 matches. Their batting line-up is full of talent but the regular flop of the top-order has become their biggest problem. Brian Bennett has been a standout performer, he played an attacking innings of 61 runs in the last match while Ryan Burl gave good support with 36 off 31 in the finishing role. But players like Madhevere, Raza are not giving the expected performance. The bowling unit has performed slightly better, where Tinotenda Maposa and Richard Ngarava have made an impact through economy and breakthroughs. Still, they could not defend a score of 144 against South Africa – and their discipline was missing in the death overs. Zimbabwe's team spirit and effort is strong, but they will have to be consistent in every department, from the top-order to bowling execution, to win the match.

New Zealand

New Zealand have won five consecutive matches in their last five T20I matches, and they are emerging as the strongest side of the T20I tri-series. The team's balance, clarity and execution are visible in both departments. In the last match against South Africa they easily chased a target of 134 in just 15.5 overs. Tim Seifert played a match-winning innings of 66* while Daryl Mitchell and Devon Conway smoothened the chase with a controlled partnership. The bowling department has also been equally effective. Adam Milne gave figures of 2/21 with tight lines while Jacob Duffy and Santner made the South African batting collapse in the middle overs. New Zealand has played as a unit in every match – the top-order is scoring runs, the bowlers are creating pressure and the fielding is sharp too. Because of this consistent all-round performance, they are looking like the favourites of the tournament.

Harare Sports Club, Harare Pitch Report

The pitch of Harare Sports Club is considered balanced for T20 matches. At the beginning of the match fast bowlers get an advantage, the ball moves a bit and also bounces. But as the innings progresses the role of spinners increases. They bring out a slight turn from the pitch. There is also a chance for batsmen, if they settle down they can make a good score. A total of around 170 is considered competitive here.

The average score of the first innings is between 151 to 156. If we look at the records, the teams batting first have won more, but in the recent matches the chasing has also been quite successful. So after winning the toss the teams will take decisions after some thought. Here India has made the highest score of 234 and Bangladesh has also chased 194. Overall, the pitch is balanced where both pacers and spinners get a chance.

NZ vs ZIM Head-to-Head Records in T20I

The T20I history between New Zealand and Zimbabwe is not a story of close rivalry. It has been a one-sided story where New Zealand has always shown the upper hand. So far, both the teams have faced each other 7 times and every time Zimbabwe has only got disappointment. Not only do they lose the matches, but in every defeat, both their batting and bowling look average when the BlackCaps are in front. New Zealand's fielding, discipline and match reading are many steps ahead of Zimbabwe's level.

This domination is not just of the level of the players, it is a difference of the entire cricketing structure. When Zimbabwe was learning the basics, New Zealand was making a name in test cricket. Even the last time these teams clashed, New Zealand finished the match in just 13.5 overs. Devon Conway comfortably made 59, Matt Henry took 3 wickets and Zimbabwe's team managed to reach only 120. Zimbabwe has no moment or momentum in this rivalry so far. And the form New Zealand is in, it doesn't seem like anything is going to change soon.
