Overview

• Matt Henry’s 3-26 with the new ball curtailed Zimbabwe to 120/7 after Mitchell Santner and Rachin Ravindra applied spin pressure
• Devon Conway anchored the reply with an unbeaten 59 off 40 balls as New Zealand chased down 121 in just 13.5 overs
• The victory keeps the Black Caps unbeaten on two from two matches and puts them on the brink of qualifying for the series final
• Zimbabwe’s hosts have now lost every T20I meeting with New Zealand since 2010 and remain winless in this tri-series
• Zimbabwe must post substantial wins in their remaining fixtures to stay in contention in the preparatory tournament ahead of the 2026 T20 World Cup
