Harare, July 18, 2025 – New Zealand continued their unbeaten run in the Zimbabwe Twenty20 Tri-Series with an emphatic 8-wicket victory over hosts Zimbabwe, thanks to a fiery three-wicket spell from Matt Henry and solid performances across the board.
Clinical Performance by the Kiwis
In the third match of the tri-nation T20 series, New Zealand chased down Zimbabwe’s target of 264 in just 29.4 overs, finishing the match with 37 balls to spare. Henry was the pick of the bowlers, dismantling Zimbabwe’s top order with a stunning 3-for that set the tone early on.
Devon Conway Reflects on Comeback
Opener Devon Conway, who played a key role in the chase, expressed his delight post-match:
“It’s great to be back in this environment. The energy, the support, and the execution from the team were top-notch today.”
Injury Blow for NZ: Phillips Ruled Out
