ZIM vs NZ Dream11 Prediction 3rd match Fantasy Cricket Tips, Probable Playing XI

ZIM vs NZ Match Preview

New Zealand began strong with a 21-run victory over South Africa. They will now face the hosts in the third match of the tri-series at the Harare Sports Club in Harare. Zimbabwe, on the contrary, will be hoping for an impressive comeback with the bat. Skipper Sikandar Raza was impressive with the bat, but others around him failed to live up to the occasion as Zimbabwe scored 141 runs batting first against South Africa. Wessly Madhevere, a batting all-rounder, has struggled at the top level and will be expected to provide a stronger start for the hosts.

ZIM vs NZ Probable Winners:

New Zealand leads the contest. They made a deliberate decision to give their less skilled rivals a chance in this tournament, and they delivered a game-winning performance. Zimbabwe's main strength will be its bowling attack. However, they lack dependable batting players, which is where they fall short in this contest. Considering the team combination, New Zealand is expected to win this match.
