00:00Hello and good afternoon from the Harare Sports Club.

00:16It's Match 3, the third T20 international of the Tri-Series here.

00:21And it's Zimbabwe versus New Zealand.

00:23It's a bright, sunny day and have a quick look at the table.

00:30The two games, South Africa beat Zimbabwe by five wickets.

00:33And in the second match, New Zealand beat South Africa by 21 runs.

00:40It's just the start of the week, but as the day goes by, we do see lots of people come in and watch the second part of the day's play.

00:48And some of them, of course, who traveled and not missing out on a nice T20 game.

00:53The first outing for Zimbabwe wasn't very good.

00:55They managed to get 141 for six with 54 not out for Raza.

00:59South Africa, well, chased it down comfortably with 4.1 overs to spare, 142 for five.

01:05Five wickets was the marginal victory.

01:09And I was out there and New Zealand did win the toss and they've decided to bowl.

01:14A lot of the captains, I think, as we progress will be thinking about that.

01:18And this is Zimbabwe's side.

01:20One change.

01:21Maposa comes in.

01:22Ngarava, Mzarabani, Gwandu.

01:25He will complement those four fast bowlers.

01:27Mr. Kiwa can also bowl.

01:29Wellington Masakadza is out of the side and then they retain their top six with Madevere and Madande at two and three.

01:36Raza in a favored number four spot.

01:39Burl and him hold it together with Tony Mnionga and maybe some Mr. Kiwa trying to close it off at the back end.

01:47And with the reinforcements arriving for New Zealand.

01:49Now they've got Ratchan Ravendra, Mark Chapman and Michael Bracewell and Aaron Mills in the side.

01:54And they leave behind Tim Robinson, the player of the match from the previous outing.

01:58Mitchell Hay, James Nishan and Ish Sodhi.

02:01This is a very strong batting unit and of course they've got plenty of variety with Bracewell coming in and Spin, Milne and Tuffy out there.

02:08So they'll be a force to reckon with.

02:11They've won the toss and they've decided that they're going to field first and try to put pressure on the home team.

02:17Wesley Madibere is going to be out there to face the first ball.

02:2178 games to him and he's got that experience.

02:24The strike will be a little stronger opening batter.

02:27But he usually has been batting in different positions in the top four.

02:32And the absence of one of their regular openers.

02:37He's going to be opening with Brian Bennett.

02:40Straight away off the mark.

02:46On the thigh pad, nicely put away while Wesley Madibere gets a boundary and takes Zimbabwe on the scoreboard.

02:57He's picked that up and has dispatched it down to the mid wicket fence.

03:02Maximum first run of the match, first one for Bennett.

03:05Short pulls, it tries to drag it across.

03:10It should be an opportunity.

03:11Yep, first rick it down.

03:13The plan was going to be obvious.

03:14They were going to want to both short and straight.

03:17And Bennett has fallen into it.

03:21That didn't really get going today, did Brian Bennett.

03:25Just didn't find the middle consistently.

03:32There's that big shot and it's effective.

03:34Nasty play-dough extra cover.

03:36Will make its way to the boundary.

03:38So Madibere eventually finds one out the middle and gets his third boundary of the innings.

03:48And he hasn't played his part.

03:50He's missed that one.

03:51And the decision to go to Ravindra has worked for New Zealand.

03:54They've got their second.

03:55Yamadande struggled throughout this innings.

04:00Just didn't get that timing.

04:04And Ravindra picks up New Zealand's second.

04:07Baldy gives himself some room.

04:14Looking to play the ball through the offside.

04:17Young Madibere.

04:18There's cannons into the leg stump.

04:20Gives himself too much room.

04:22And now has to go.

04:2436 off 32.

04:2671 for three.

04:33Glorious.

04:34Not the strongest area for Ryan Burl.

04:37But what a convincing stroke first up through cover.

04:40In the air gone.

04:41Ryan Burl.

04:42Looking to get that one over the backward point fielder.

04:55Doesn't get enough on it.

04:56Zimbabwe sink further into trouble.

04:59And the guy that looked really positive.

05:01Two boundaries he struck.

05:03Over.

05:04Had already gone for six.

05:09Slapped.

05:12He's gone the right side of the field this time.

05:14Seconda Raza.

05:22Well.

05:23There you go.

05:24Captain.

05:25Try to dig one out.

05:26And he goes.

05:27And this is really.

05:28Now staring down the barrel with him going.

05:31And five down for 93.

05:32Is trouble.

05:33Yeah.

05:3412 of 17.

05:35For seconda Raza.

05:36And you just got the feeling.

05:37That he wasn't quite sure how to pace it.

05:39And the Zim captain has to go.

05:42Just 12.

05:43Of the 18 deliveries.

05:49Pulls it.

05:50And we go to the right of square leg for a boundary.

05:53So.

05:54Good four runs to the total.

06:00This one's not going to fall safe.

06:01It should be come to be taken.

06:03Yes it is.

06:04So Henry goes for the same strategy.

06:07This time the top edge doesn't carry into vacant ground.

06:10And Zimbabwe lose another.

06:12That's a good catch.

06:14Yeah.

06:15Yeah.

06:16He's played that well.

06:17Smashed it through covers for a boundary.

06:18So that will be.

06:19A welcome one for Zimbabwe to end the over.

06:21This guy.

06:22But he'll go over the fielder.

06:23And he's running backwards.

06:24Good try that.

06:25Excellent try.

06:26Sadna felt that he can reach it.

06:27That's when he started rushing towards it.

06:29Yeah.

06:30Might have hurt himself just a little bit.

06:31Maybe winded himself as he fell.

06:33Has he got it?

06:34No he hasn't.

06:35That's a good catch.

06:36That was flat.

06:37And for a moment he must have lost it somewhere in that background.

06:40But he took a good catch there down at deep square.

06:41Seven down.

06:42And Zimbabwe remain at 120 in their 20 overs.

06:43This is a really good take.

06:44Came out flat.

06:45It was that short delivery again.

06:46Oh.

06:47Oh.

06:48Oh.

06:49Oh.

07:36Oh.

07:37six in that power play along with ryan bennett brian was 21 and that was the chunk of scoring

07:43good six run momentum six over momentum there then after that every time you felt that they

07:49got their eye and they kept losing wickets seconder raza you can see was struggling as

07:53well 18 deliveries for his 12 and only managed 120 for seven

07:5868th match for tim seifert and he looked in good nick

08:10put him down opportunity early on for zimbabwe

08:16was that abani at short third doesn't hold on to it

08:28not the most desirable delivery to get the wicket

08:33but zimbabwe won't mind they get their first

08:37big tool blessings out of any gets one to just bounce and nip away a little bit

08:49very convincing stroke to end the third over 14 for one

08:59top edge the option wasn't a bad one for guandru

09:05fortune favors new zealand second boundary of the innings

09:12and now they've got three boundaries in the innings and it'll further come down from 6.3 to 6.1

09:18to win the fifth that's 32 for one

09:34thick outside edge third man up in the circle

09:37runs fortunate runs

09:39i just thought i'll give that a moment

09:50to hit blessing with zara bunny

09:53over the sweeper boundary my poor sir from the golf course end

09:59another top edge

10:00yeah he really has better to find his timing but he's still there he's got himself to 14.

10:10this one could be close was rebani oh brilliant absolutely brilliant in front of the festive

10:17crowd down there at third man he picked it up a little bit late but recovered launched himself

10:22forward and what a take that is

10:26and a good innings of 30 off 19

10:29falls comes to an end for retching ravindra

10:35as will be four it's in the gap

10:37massive amount of width

10:40it'll end the over at 69 for two

10:42shot

10:48there's nobody out there even there was anyone wouldn't be of any use because it's gone all the way

10:57and then of course the power a person possesses also matters just like that

11:01he's got that gap and he's hit it well darryl mitchell boundary to end the over 88 for two

11:06chance of a catch muzzerabani stall but not enough

11:22let's just go back to zimbabwe is not uh the innings of 20

11:27you've got three bigots and overthrows here a little snooze mode

11:32uh apologizes immediately the boundary rider the throw wasn't good

11:39we have raza at four burl at five and he's a 50 here for conway 34 deliveries for that 50.

11:51oh nicely done

11:54it's very nicely done now you can just see how darryl mitchell just walks outside the line of

11:59the ball and he just ramps that

12:07will be runs here well this could be the final shot

12:11it is a boundary and new zealand have won this match they record their second win in the tri-series

12:19first against south africa and today against the host and this one is a thumping win win by eight wickets

12:25one is so good but he's gonna go after that round the Thursday he really started it struggled initially

12:33when he came to the crease got given a chance blessing was that a bunny wasn't able to hold on to a very

12:38sharp chance that short third man and then he got going and uh played beautifully to get 59

12:49and uh largely responsible for new zealand winning comfortably

12:59quick one and that is zimbabwe batting first asked to bat first rather 120 for seven just couldn't

13:06get on with that momentum that they were looking for through the innings henry got three for 26

13:10and then everyone else with a wicket each new zealand conway's 59 not out was enough

13:16and they got home in just about 13.5 overs winning this match by eight wickets
