Zimbabwe started steadily
Brian Bennett and Wessly Madhevere built a solid opening stand
then Matt Henry struck late in the powerplay to break through
Madhevere posted thirty six from thirty two deliveries
- Bennett contributed twenty one before he was caught at mid on

- Clive Madande followed by Sikandar Raza then Ryan Burl
Zimbabwe ended their innings on 120 for seven after twenty overs
New Zealand began the chase with Tim Seifert and Devon Conway
- Seifert held firm for just three
- Conway was dropped on one and survived another chance before settling into rhythm
Rachin Ravindra joined Conway and launched boundaries at will
his brisk thirty off nineteen balls swung the momentum firmly towards New Zealand
Conway remained calm through the middle overs
- he reached a composed fifty and carried on to an unbeaten 59 from 40 balls
- Daryl Mitchell chipped in with a quick 26 not out
With 37 balls remaining New Zealand claimed victory by eight wickets
their third chase of the tournament in under 14 overs
Matt Henry led the bowling effort for New Zealand
he took three wickets for just 26 runs
support came from Santner, Ravindra, Bracewell and Milne who each chipped in with one wicket

he said they struggled with both spin and pace on challenging track conditions
