Zim vs NZ Match Preview:
The second test between Zimbabwe and New Zealand is scheduled to begin at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo on August 7, 2025. New Zealand won the first Test of nine wickets, leading 1-0 in two matches.
In the first Test, Zimbabwe chose to hit the ball for the first time, but was hit 149 in their first inning. Craig Ervine scored the highest with 39 runs, while Matt Henry starred in New Zealand for a 6-39 run.
New Zealand responded with a 307, with 88 runs by Devon Conway and 80 runs by Daryl Mitchell. Wishing Muzarabani a 3-73 mark for Zimbabwe.
Zimbabwe had 165 runs in the second inning, with Williams leading with 49 runs. Mitchell Santner scored 3-51 with a 4-27 record. New Zealand lost a wicket after chasing eight runs with just 14 goals.
Zimbabwe will welcome Brendan Taylor, whose experience can step up the batting after a three-and-a-half-year ban. Their goal is to rely on key players such as Sikandar Raza, Sean Williams and Blessing Muzarabani to play the leveling series at home.
New Zealand, led by substitute captain Mitchell Santner, will hope to stay in good shape with Matt Henry, Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell.
Historically, New Zealand has dominated, winning their last six tests against Zimbabwe, four innings. Another competitive match is expected as Zimbabwe seeks to redeem its home.
