LOL.. your prediction was right. They got themselves to 120/7, with Tinotenda Maposa and Tony Munyonga scoring some valuable runs towards the end. But this is far from a defendable total, and like I have said many times in the past this series doesn't make any sense. Zimbabwe should play among other tier-2 test nations and associate teams, and not against strong teams such as New Zealand and South Africa. Matt Henry picked up 3 wickets for the Kiwis, while Wessly Madhevere top-scored for Zimbabwe with 36.

The only good thing Zimbabwe did in today's game is that they played their full 20 overs. They played full 20 overs but were not able to put enough runs on the board to challenge the opponents. In first game of this tri-series Zimbabwe score was comparatively better. This series is only between New Zealand and South Africa and Zimbabwe must take it as an opportunity to improve their cricket as they are playing against strong teams.

New Zealand awarded Zimbabwe with a worst defeat in T20 tri series by chasing the target in just 14 overs. Zimbabwe opened the innings with Madhevere and Bennett with a 37 runs partnership from now the downfall of wickets started. Openers scored great runs then one down player get eliminated very early after 8 runs and New Zealand's bowlers bowled aggressively knocking out 7 players in a short time. The allotted overs ended and this innings ended at 120 which is like a childplay for New Zealand. New Zealand lost its first wicket at just 5 runs giving a relief to Zimbabwe's nerve. Two players lost wickets and New Zealand chased it in just 14 overs. There is no match of Zimbabwe against New Zealand as it required a lot of experience to handle the pressure and aggressive bowlers.
