Devon Conway put an end to a two-year drought of a Test hundred as New Zealand tightened their hold over Zimbabwe on Day 2 of the second Test. The left-hand batsman produced a smooth and undefeated 140 by lunchtime, leading New Zealand past 300 and to a total of 306/2 with an overall lead of 181.

When the morning session play resumed, New Zealand was 174/1, leading by 49. The hosts only added nightwatchman Jacob Duffy's wicket to their second-day laundry list as they added 132 runs in the morning session. After starting the day on 78, Conway hit a brisk fifth Test century from just 143 balls, driving Luckie Muzarabani through mid-off for his 13th four. He lifted a clenched fist in the air in celebration. His reaction was equally one of relief that he’d finally reached three figures in a Test match after 16 Tests without a century earlier. 

Duffy also performed a rare appearance with the bat, putting a level of frustration over Zimbabwe with a plucky 36 in a 73-run partnership with Conway before Masekesa broke the stand. A debuting Bennett pulled off a sharp catch at short mid-wicket for Duffy, which paved the way for Henry Nicholls to join Conway and start their innings as the highest on the board. Nicholls was 41 not out at lunch break as the fatigue of the New Zealanders' opponents was starting to show; they struggled with their last touch of resiliency.

Conway’s Century and Pace Attack Put New Zealand in Complete Control

The groundwork was laid on Day 1 when New Zealand’s new-look pace battery stripped Zimbabwe for just 125 inside two sessions. Matt Henry spearheaded the attack with 5/40, and debutant Zakary Foulkes with 4/38, unsettled the hosts with height and accuracy. Jacob Duffy and Matthew Fisher chipped in, whilst Fisher took the final wicket, a bowled ball from Tanaka Chivanga.

Brendan Taylor provided the only resistance for Zimbabwe in his first Test match in over 3.5 years since his ICC ban. His stoic 44 off 107 balls was in doubt as Zimbabwe lost three wickets in eight balls after lunch, and he looked like the only player who could halt New Zealand’s relentless pace attack. The conceding of Sikandar Raza at leg slip alongside the golden duck of Trevor Gwandu spoke volumes about how competitive the hosts were.

In reply, New Zealand began commanding their reply through a 162-run opening partnership featuring Will Young (74) and Conway. The Zimbabwe fast bowlers struggled to bowl quickly and also didn't cause any issues with pace (which is notably controversial), and they struggled to create swings or exert pressure with their bowling. Their fielding also didn't help their plight. With Conway well and truly in and with a lengthy batting line-up behind him, New Zealand seem to be focused on batting Zimbabwe out of the match, completing a 2-0 series whitewash, in another inconsequential Test in the World Test Championship.

ZIM vs NZ Match Preview

New Zealand prevailed by nine wickets in a Test that lasted less than three days, but the margin of victory might and probably should have been greater.  Few cricket fans were surprised by last week's one-sided Test in Bulawayo, and many expect the same this time when the Chevrons face the Black Caps for their second and final match of this series. Zimbabwe knows they can perform better than they did last week, but it remains to be seen whether they can do so against a disciplined team like New Zealand.

ZIM vs NZ Probable Winners:

New Zealand has recently performed admirably in away Tests, and few expect the team to struggle in this match. They are stronger in all disciplines, and Zimbabwe lacks depth with the bat, so we predict another Black Caps victory by a large margin. Considering the team combination, New Zealand is expected to win this match.

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.

Brenadan Taylor

ZIM vs NZ Today Match Prediction, Who Will Win the Match?

New Zealand To win

We predict that New Zealand will be winning this T20I match. The likes of Matt Henry, Tim Seifert and Rachin Ravindra will be key players to watch out for.

After a commanding win against South Africa, New Zealand is now ready to take on Zimbabwe, the host of the ongoing T20I Tri-Nation series. After playing 6 T20 international matches against Zimbabwe, New Zealand is the clear favorite to win today's (July 18, 2025) encounter. Matt Henry and Jacob Duffy were the two star performers for the Blackcaps by clinching 3 wickets each. Against ZIM, they will try to do the same. 

Zimbabwe lost their opening fixture against South Africa earlier this week by five wickets. Against a well-balanced SA XI, the Sikandar Raza-led side struggled to push their run rates high. As a result, batting first, Zimbabwe scored only 141 in 20 overs. South Africa, without any such serious trouble, conquered the target. In today's match, Zimbabwe will try to perform a lot better with their bat. 

The batting side of NZ also looked in great shape against South Africa. 75-run innings from Tim Robinson and Bevon Jacobs' unbeaten 44 on debut came as a huge relief for NZ, led by Mitchell Santner. But batting on a Harare Sports Club pitch may not be so easy. The new ball can gain some movements in the initial overs, and then, the spinners can join the party.

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.

Zimbabwe had a challenging start to the Tri-Series, losing their first match by five wickets against South Africa.

On the other hand, New Zealand had an excellent start to the Tri-Series, winning their opening match by 21 runs against South Africa. Tim Robinson was the standout performer for New Zealand, scoring 75 runs off 57 balls.
