The openers were playing good and gave a good opening partnership to the team but now the middle order collapsed; they are not supporting the team. Ryan Burl and Sikandar Raza are on batting, only the hopes are with Raza as he is amazing player and especially for T20 format, he is really good as we have the recent example in the PSL final match where he played three games in a day, first test and then another one and then reached to Lahore to play final. However, right now they want performance from him and is he able to do what is expected of him that needs to be seen. Not much overs are left, they need to play fast and also not lose wickets.
Zimbabwe got a decent start by the openers but no other batsmen was able to score runs once both openers got out. The captain Sikandar Raza is no doubt a good T20 player but he got out after scoring just 12 runs. After 19 overs, Zimbabwe score is 114 and they will hopefully give a target of 120 runs which won't be a problem for New Zealand team. This is Zimbabwe second game in this T20 tri series and in both games Zimbabwe was in not able to give a good fight.
