Head to Head


New Zealand beat Zimbabwe comfortably a few days ago.

Zimbabwe Form


Zimbabwe have struggled in their opening three matches of the series, losing twice to South Africa and once to New Zealand. This will be a matter of pride for the hosts as they can no longer qualify for the final.

Last time out, Zimbabwe scored 144 runs batting first against South Africa. Brian Bennett scored 61 at the top of the order while Ryan Burl added 36. Only one other batsman managed to get past 10 runs.

Zimbabwe started brilliantly with the ball, taking two early wickets but they failed to make anymore immediate inroads. By the time they took the next wicket with 128 runs on the board, South Africa had already guaranteed victory.

Zimbabwe Injuries & Team News


Zimbabwe will want to end on a high and may well give some other squad players a run.

New Zealand Form


New Zealand have been a level above the other sides in this Tri series. They have won all three matches to date and have secured a place in the final.

In their last game, New Zealand bowled first against South Africa. Jacob Duffy, Adam Milne and Mitchell Santner took two wickets each, restricting South Africa to a below-part total of 134 runs.

Tim Seifert found some form in the response, hitting 66* off 48 balls to lead the Black Caps charge. That was enough to secure a seven-wicket victory with more than four overs to spare.

The Black Caps could opt to field all fringe players in this game given that the result has no bearing on the final.

Verdict

New Zealand’s Tim Seifert is backed to score over 21.5 runs and top score for the Black Caps. Brian Bennett is tipped to top score for the hosts.
