ZIM vs NZ Match Prediction & Analysis
New Zealand have started strong with a 21-run win against South Africa. They will now take on the hosts in the 3rd match of the tri-series at the Harare Sports Club in Harare. Zimbabwe, on the other hand, will be in search of a strong comeback with the bat.
Skipper Sikandar Raza was impressive with the bat while others around him failed to rise to the occasion as Zimbabwe finished with 141 runs batting first against South Africa. Batting all-rounder Wessly Madhevere struggled at the top big time and will be expected to deliver a stronger start for the hosts.
New Zealand pack a strong punch in their deep batting order that features Tim Seifert and Devon Conway at the top and Daryl Mitchell at number 4. However, it was the young Tim Robinson playing his 11th T20I, who made the biggest impact for the Kiwis with an unbeaten 75-run knock at number 3.
The pitch offers an even contest between bat and ball. Batting here does not seem easy, and the bowlers on both teams will play a crucial role in leading their side to victory.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Zimbabwe Preview
Sikandar Raza played a captain’s knock at number 4, scoring 54 off 38 balls in their recent match against South Africa. The all-rounder is a key player in this lineup, and all eyes will be on him against New Zealand.
The skipper will also expect support from others around him, such as Ryan Burl at number 5. A major concern for Zimbabwe going into this match will be the form of their top order. Two of the top 3 batters scored at a strike rate of under 50.
Batting all-rounders Wessly Madhevere and Brian Bennett open the innings for the hosts. Madhevere is more experienced than his opening partner, but has always played lower down the order and does not have an impressive strike rate to open the innings.
Tashinga Musekiwa is a promising batter lower down the order at number 6 with a great career strike rate. Clive Madende, Raza, and Burl are the key batters who will need to deliver bigger partnerships in the middle to lead Zimbabwe to a more competitive total this time around.
Richard Ngrava and Blessing Muzarabani lead the pace attack. The two are among the key wicket-takers in this squad. There are plenty of spin-bowling options in the side with Wellington Masakadza, Sikandar Raza, and Ryan Burl.
ZIM Over/Under Betting Tips
Sikandar Raza has scored 54*, 34 & 22 runs in the last three T20I matches played at Harare Sports Club. He is in good form and has the started the series well with an unbeaten half century against South Africa. Given his current form, we back Sikandar Raza to score over 17 runs against New Zealand.
Zimbabwe Predicted Playing XI:
Brian Bennett, Wessly Madhevere, Clive Madande (wk), Sikandar Raza (c), Ryan Burl, Tashinga Musekiwa, Tony Munyonga, Wellington Masakadza, Richard Ngarava, Blessing Muzarabani, Trevor Gwandu

New Zealand Preview
The Blackcaps are off to a winning start in this Tri-Series, beating the runners-up of the T20 World Cup in their recent outing. Tim Robinson’s 75 off 57 balls came against a strong bowling attack of South Africa.
It will boost his confidence going ahead. Openers Conway and Seifiert are among the most experienced players in the side who failed to get going in the last game. The two will be expected to make a comeback in this match to get the side off to a flier.
Conway is known for his ability to adapt to conditions and can play a more anchoring role for his team. In addition to Robinson coming in at 3, New Zealand have the big-impact player Daryl Mitchell at number 4. The all-rounder adds a lot of strength to his middle-order.
He’s a match-winner who has delivered highly impactful knocks for the Kiwis all over the world. With James Neesham and Bevon Jacobs coming in at 6 and 7, the batting not only gets deep but also stronger.
Jacobs, making his debut in T20 internationals, scored an unbeaten 44 off 30 balls and was part of the unbeaten 103-run partnership for the 6th wicket. Robinson and Jacobs turned things around after New Zealand were reduced to 5 for 70 in the 10th over.
Matt Henry and Jacob Duffy are the frontline pacers expected to deliver key breakthroughs at the top. In the spin department, skipper Mitchell Santner and Ish Sodhi will pose a tough challenge to the home team.
NZ Over/Under Betting Tips
Tim Seifert has scores of 22, 97*, 44, 19 & 45 in the last five T20I matches he has played. In the second T20I against South Africa, Seifert scored 22 runs, out of which 20 runs came in boundaries. He is one of the safest bets in this fixture and we predict Tim Seifert to score over 21 runs against Zimbabwe.
New Zealand Predicted Playing XI:
Tim Seifert (wk), Devon Conway, Tim Robinson, Daryl Mitchell, Mitchell Hay, Bevon Jacobs, James Neesham, Mitchell Santner (c), Matt Henry, Ish Sodhi, Jacob Duffy

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It will be a clear and sunny day in Harare with a high of 23 degrees Celsius around the match time. It should be a great day for batting, given the conditions here, though the wicket helps the pace bowlers a great deal.

Average Turn
It is a balanced pitch at the Harare Sports Club where few batters have managed to dominate the bowlers in recent games. Overall, the pacers seem to hold the upper hand on this wicket and will play a key role in this match. The average 1st innings score in T20I matches at this venue is 153 runs. However, for a match-winning total, the team batting first should aim for something around 170-175 runs.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
We back the home team Zimbabwe to win the coin toss in the 3rd T20I match against New Zealand of the Zimbabwe T20I Tri Series at Harare Sports Club.
The average total match score in the last two matches played at Harare is 304 runs. The conditions at Harare favours the bowlers a bit and scoring runs is hard at this venue. We predict another low scoring match and the total match score to be under 317 runs.
Toss: To Bat
Though Zimbabwe lost their last match while batting first on this ground, we think it is not going to be easy to chase down a target here if the team batting first can post a competitive total. Of the 62 T20I matches played here, the team batting first has won 35, while the team batting second has won 25 of those.
ZIM vs NZ
Winning Prediction
New Zealand are ahead in the contest. They have made a conscious decision to give their less experienced players a chance in this tournament, and they delivered a match-winning performance. Zimbabwe’s biggest strength will be their bowling attack. However, they lack reliable players in the batting department, and that is where they fall behind in this contest. New Zealand will start as big favorites in our match prediction.
