Transcript
00:00Hello and welcome once again. We're all set and ready for more action in the Tri-Series,
00:17the last of the round games. The home side Zimbabwe, final appearance in the Tri-Series
00:22and they will face New Zealand at the Harare Sports Club. The toss, which took place a
00:27while ago. Different ways for Sikandar Razi. He hasn't won a toss yet and I guess it didn't
00:32work even today. But he got what he wanted because the captain of New Zealand decided
00:37that they're going to bat first. Four changes for New Zealand. We've got Tim Robinson, Bevan
00:43Jacobs, Matt Henry and Ish Soti coming into the side, leaving out Devin Conway, Daryl Mitchell,
00:47Jacob Duffy, Adam Mill. And we've got Ed Rainsford alongside me. Ed, one change for Zimbabwe
00:54and they leave out Madevere and get in Myers for the first time.
00:59Hello, Sikandar. And good afternoon to everybody or good early morning to everybody in New Zealand.
01:04Yes, just one change for Zimbabwe. Dion Myers comes in for Wesley Madevere and they've kept
01:09everything the same. They are still missing. Blessing Muzarabani, who's had a bereavement
01:14in the family. So it'll be Gwandu, Ngarawa, Maposa. Left arm spin for Masakadza.
01:20Burl can bowl some wrist spin. Raza with his off spin. Dion Myers can bowl a few seamers
01:25and Bennett with a little bit of off spin. But they'll be bowling first today. So an
01:31opportunity for them to chase down a total.
01:36Oh, did it carry? Did it carry? No.
01:40A poke at that. Robinson first ball. Edges one. Ryan Burl.
01:44Maybe standing a bit too deep here, Ryan Burl. Does it carry?
01:51Maybe it does.
01:55Oh, that's straight through the line. Nobody is going to get in the way.
01:59It's gone all the way hitting that side screen. Gets a maximum, Robinson.
02:04For whatever he did in the initial stages of playing and missing.
02:07My, my, my, my. This is some shot.
02:14Pulls it away. It'll be a boundary to end the over.
02:17Not the line he would have liked. Seifert was all over it.
02:2119 for no loss.
02:25Oh, he's not in control of that. Chance here.
02:29And taken. Very well taken.
02:31For a moment, he lost it somewhere in the sun.
02:33He kept himself very still.
02:37And he's done very well. Made it look very easy, I'll tell you that.
02:40Big wicket.
02:42Yeah, big wicket. He looked to try and go after the bowling again.
02:45This time, a thick outside edge.
02:47Tashinga Misakiwa is the fielder.
02:50Tim Robinson is the batter that has to go.
02:51It's 19 for one.
02:56Runs.
02:57Good looking on drive.
02:58Now, that's a lot of ground to cover for the man at, uh,
03:02deep back with square leg. He won't get there.
03:03Fast outfield, even though it's a big one.
03:09Just get enough timing on it. It skates away.
03:15Shot. Found the gap.
03:17It'll go to the boundary for a four.
03:22Seifert gets the strike, and he makes most of it.
03:25And goal. Dropped.
03:34That should have been taken.
03:35It was coming straight at him.
03:37He didn't have to run around for it.
03:38Oh, big a miss is that.
03:43Oh, no.
03:45No control.
03:47Technique isn't quite there either.
03:49The hands well in front of the body.
03:50This is Miles.
03:52Don't even worry about looking up, over, and onto the scoreboard.
03:59A nice strike. It was in the air for eternity.
04:07Is that placed well enough?
04:09Oh, my word.
04:10When he made the contact, I thought one, maybe two,
04:13but the placement ended up being perfect.
04:15I don't think it was even off the middle.
04:16It looked like it was the Q end.
04:20Oh, there's a catch that goes down.
04:22If we can call it a catch, I think he got something on it.
04:24But it's a good way to end the over.
04:27It brings up the 50 partnership between the two.
04:29A boundary to finish.
04:31Eight from it.
04:3172 for one.
04:36Difficult, difficult chance.
04:43Here goes the slog sweep.
04:44It's the big boundary, but it doesn't matter.
04:46That's emphatically played, and onto the bank.
04:49Wonderful strike again from Ravindra.
04:51Oh, another chance.
04:56This one, I think he probably would believe he could have grabbed.
05:00I think this is a lot simpler of the two chances.
05:04He still had to move quite well, quite a long way to his left,
05:07and he's moved well, but it doesn't hit the palm of his hand.
05:17That's gone for a boundary.
05:18I'm very sure, my friend, to my left,
05:21Tino Mawoyo likes it.
05:30Third off century
05:32for Ratchin, Ravindra, and T20 Ice.
05:37That's a poor, poor delivery from Sekundar Raza
05:46to end the 12th over.
05:48112 for one.
05:49Tim Seifert, and in the last couple of games, he really has come into his own.
06:02That was very straight.
06:13Horizontal bat, but very, very straight over the bowler.
06:17No chance for Raza to cut it off.
06:18Another boundary.
06:19Again, he's made it a point to reach to the ball, should be out, taken by Sekundar Raza.
06:28He wasn't in control of that shot, I tell you.
06:31Again, a similar one attempted with a horizontal bat, but this time, he got more height than distance.
06:36A fish again, shots again, gone again.
06:43That's big.
06:44Two wickets in the Nova, and Chapman walks.
06:53Is it out the middle?
06:54Yes, it is.
06:56This is beautifully struck.
06:58Man, as soon as it made the sound out of the bat, you knew.
07:08And that's the danger.
07:10Even luck cannot stop the runs from flowing.
07:13Yeah, with that field changing, he knew that he could just open the face.
07:19Outside edge and taken.
07:22That'll stem the run flow for sure.
07:24Yeah, it was good, and he's trying to repeat the dose, trying to carry on the trend of four after four after four.
07:32Threw his bat as hard as he could.
07:37And the air on the second grab.
07:40He's put one down already, as Tony Mignonga, but he's held on for a second grab on this occasion.
07:46It went quickly, and the second wicket of the over.
07:52Itched.
07:53Oh, down again.
07:54Could be a run out.
07:55Oh, misses the stumps.
07:58Went for the double play.
08:01Yeah, wide delivery.
08:03Going for the wide york.
08:03A big swing.
08:04Straight to him.
08:05Straight down.
08:09Outside edge.
08:10And taken.
08:13All we'd say was worth the wait.
08:16The last delivery.
08:17Finally bowled, and he finally got an outside edge.
08:20Santner trying to carve that one away.
08:22Has he got all of it?
08:27You bet he does.
08:28Into the band.
08:29All the way for half a dozen.
08:31Yeah, walking.
08:35This time, walking at Kwon Do.
08:42They'll try and pick up two here.
08:44And, oh, might as well.
08:49No run out, maybe.
08:52Comedy of errors to end the innings.
08:54But a big over to finish it off.
08:58The 20th.
08:59It goes for 21.
09:00New Zealand end up on 190.
09:03So they won the toss.
09:07Decided to bat first.
09:09It was a good experiment.
09:11190.
09:12Suffert was really impressive.
09:1375 at the top.
09:14Ravindra played nicely.
09:1663 in their partnership of over 100.
09:18Bracewell was the one who did the job at the back end.
09:21190.
09:21It's impressive.
09:26Glorious.
09:31It's a fantastically positive start from Zimbabwe to this run chase.
09:36This time, it's just the swivel using the line of the ball, angling down the leg side, and a little smile from the Zimbabwean opening pair.
09:56Gone.
09:58He loves the offside, and as you mentioned, Darlington, he'll look to go through there at any opportunity.
10:04And Ben, it's gone.
10:06Gone.
10:12Wonderful set-up play again from New Zealand here.
10:14Gone.
10:15Two for seven.
10:1527 for two.
10:19Yeah!
10:20Balled him.
10:21He's gone all the way across the stumps.
10:24Dion Myers looking to play the fine sweep.
10:28Zimbabwe lose two in the over.
10:34Yeah.
10:34What talk about placement?
10:36That was timed, and it was hit properly between the two fielders.
10:41Two boundary riders there on that big boundary.
10:46Is there bat?
10:47No, there isn't.
10:48He's again.
10:50Another wicket falls, and this time is the captain.
10:53Matt Henry finally gets his first after being a little expensive.
10:57Nice-looking shot.
11:00Does it find the boundary?
11:02Yes, it does.
11:02It's good placement.
11:03Darrell Mitchell on the field.
11:04Not sure for who, but Bill loosens the shackles with that boundary.
11:09Oh, here we go.
11:11Oh, here we go, Sakanda.
11:16Baller himself, and what a catch that is.
11:19He called for it early, though he was running backwards, but he said that he's got it in control,
11:25and so he did.
11:25Wicket number five falls.
11:29That was in the air forever.
11:30And Burl has to go.
11:33He goes for five, 24 for five.
11:39So slow through the air, and he swept it away.
11:44He put everything into that.
11:46Swing, and swing strong, maximum to Tony Benyonga.
12:04That's a good shot.
12:07The bait was thrown up, he took it.
12:10He hit it well enough in front of that fielder on the cover boundary for four.
12:16Is it enough?
12:18Yes, it is.
12:18It's comfortably enough.
12:20Onto the roof.
12:22Get the new kookaburras out.
12:24That one's not coming back.
12:25It gets trapped in the gutter.
12:32Now, there's a mid-off long off.
12:34He's taken the catch.
12:36Again, he's looked to go over the long off boundary, but the ball too full for him to get the elevation that he was looking for.
12:46That one's gone straight up.
12:49Oh, it's just gone over that left shoulder.
12:52Always seems like the ball is coming straight down at you until the final moments.
12:58Yeah, what are you trying to do in these situations?
12:59Try and make the hard yards as quickly as possible.
13:02So turn and run, and then locate the ball.
13:04It's when you're running sideways, sideways, sideways that it's difficult to deal with.
13:08There's nothing more emphatic than that.
13:14It's the perfect Yorker.
13:15It knocks back off Stumpin.
13:16Masakaza has to go.
13:19Two from five.
13:20Zimbabwe, 110 for seven.
13:26Heaving, heaving.
13:27Bracewell in the way.
13:29Musakiwa now falls.
13:3121 from 21.
13:33111 for eight.
13:39Oh, he's picked that up.
13:41He's picked that up nicely.
13:45He's a big lad.
13:47Richard Ngarava.
13:51And he'll get the big wicket.
13:53Or the big man, Richard Ngarava.
13:55Full and straight.
13:57And the big man has to go.
13:59One big six for him in that innings.
14:01And Zimbabwe, 118 for nine.
14:08Oh, run out.
14:11Is he out here?
14:13Is he gone?
14:15Umpire, go upstairs and have a look.
14:18That looks a much better angle, and that looks out to me.
14:24So that's out, and that'll conclude the game.
14:26New Zealand, again, fantastic.
14:34Unbeaten in this tri-series.
14:37Superb with the bat.
14:39Superb with the ball.
14:40Excellent in the field, and how fitting that it also ends with a fielding effort.
14:44On this occasion by the wicketkeeper.
14:47Presence of mind, the dive, the desperation.
14:50Doesn't matter if it's the first batter or the last batter.
14:53They check all their boxes.
14:54They march on to the final, and they beat Zimbabwe in this round-robin.
14:59T20 international game by 60 runs.
15:03Homeside will be quite disappointed, but that group of players and that group of support staff will be extremely happy.
15:10So what a day for him is Sodi.
15:134 for 12 as we re-look at the summary.
15:17New Zealand, 190 for 6.
15:19Decided to bat first after they won the toss.
15:21Excellent from Seifert, 75.
15:23Richard Ngarra, 4 for 34.
15:26Ravindra was also excellent for his 63 of 39.
15:29Zimbabwe were in trouble.
15:325 for 44 they were.
15:34They ended up getting to 130, courtesy of Mnonga's 40.
15:38And Sodi, as I said, brilliant.
15:404 for 12 in his fall-overs, and New Zealand win by 60 runs.
15:445 for 12 in his fall-overs, and New Zealand win by 60 runs.
