WTC 2027: ZIM vs NZ, Match Prediction– Who will win the Test Match?
ZIM vs NZ, Match Prediction – Today’s Match Analysis, Pitch Report, Probable Playing 11, Key Players & 100% Sure Insights. Who Will Win? Expert Predictions Inside!
New Zealand made easy work of Zimbabawe in the first Test. Changes are due though. Nathan Smith and Will O Rourkee are out of the second Test which will deplete and already short staffed bowling attack. How they react is to be seen. For Zimbabwe, their batting was far from competitive while the bowling did well in parts. They will be strengthened by the return of Brendan Taylor who comes back after a ban and how he goes will be fun to watch for Zimbabwe given he has been a historically good player for them.

Zimbabwe vs New Zealand Players to Watch
Devon Conway
Devon Conway's career has been in a bit of a limbo with him losing his spot across formats. With Kane Williamson out of the side Devon Conway has a rope here to get his career on track with some key runs and time in the middle.
Brenadan Taylor
Taylor returns to the Zimbabwe set up. His career has been on and off for them after leading with promise till 2015. He has less time on hands with age catching up fast and will be hoping to leave Zimbabawe Cricket with a lasting impact in the limited time he has.
Zimbabwe vs New Zealand Match Tips
