In the ongoing Zimbabwe Twenty20 Tri-Series 2025, New Zealand will play against Zimbabwe in the Match 3 of the tournament. Both teams have played a game in this series, i.e. against South Africa. While the home side, Zimbabwe lost to the Proteas, the Kiwis managed to win. The Chevrons were completely outplayed even though Sikander Raza and Richard Ngarwa performed with the bat and ball respectively.
Talking about the Blackcaps, they were reduced to 70/5 but managed to get 173/5 on a tricky surface and on a big ground. They won by 21 runs against the batting line up of the T20 World Cup 2024 finalists which was a bit light. After the fall of four wickets, bowling all-rounders followed. Meanwhile, NZ and ZIM are playing a T20I after 2015.
