US EditionBlack Caps Crush Zimbabwe by Nine Wickets in First Test
BULAWAYO PROVINCE, ZIMBABWE, AUG 2 – Matt Henry took nine wickets as New Zealand won inside three days, with Devon Conway and Daryl Mitchell scoring key runs to dominate Zimbabwe in the first Test.
- New Zealand defeated Zimbabwe by nine wickets at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo in the first Test of their two-match series that lasted two-and-a-half days.
- Zimbabwe elected to bat after winning the toss but struggled due to exposed batting frailties and failed to form significant partnerships in both innings.
- New Zealand posted a total of 307 runs in their first innings, with significant contributions from Conway, who scored 88, and Mitchell, who added 80. They then comfortably reached the modest target of eight runs in just 14 balls, despite losing Conway early in the chase.
- Matt Henry took nine wickets in the match including 6-39 in the first innings, while Mitchell Santner, captaining for the first time, took four wickets for 27 runs, and Henry Nicholls hit the winning run.
- The victory puts New Zealand 1-0 ahead in the series, with the second Test scheduled to begin on August 7 at the same Bulawayo venue, while Zimbabwe faces pressure after five consecutive Test losses.
