This Test will also be a one-sided match because you can't imagine New Zealand and Zimbabwe as a balanced team in cricket. New Zealand is a completely balanced team at the moment, especially in T20, ODI and Test. In the recently concluded tri-series, New Zealand became the champions while Zimbabwe failed to win a single match. Zimbabwe have played many cricket matches this year and have lost every match. But one important thing is that Zimbabwe's game has improved and even though they could not win, they have tried to compete a bit. Zimbabwe may not be able to win this test match but they can compete with New Zealand.
This is getting really irritating. Zimbabwe is getting so many matches against strong teams lately, while the other two teams in their division (Ireland and Afghanistan) are hardly getting any matches. And the less talked about the associate teams such as Scotland, Netherlands, Namibia and Nepal, that much better. Match after match, Zimbabwe is suffering very heavy defeats with no scope of improvement. These matches are useful only for improving the personal stats of the players in opposing teams.
I appreciate you. Zimbabwe presents its valueless performance with a big team. New Zealand is a big team in all formats, whereas Zimbabwe is a losing team in all formats. How can Zimbabwe secure more matches against top teams? Their performance gives another team favour in their winning ratio. Another team only increases their rank and their players' score by playing them.
