OUT! Caught. Matt Henry to Tony Munyonga. Off cutter back of a length, outside off stump on the back foot pulling, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep square leg, caught by Chapman. That brings us to the end of the first innings, with the hosts posting a modest total of 120. Zimbabwe's batters struggled to find their rhythm and ultimately fell short of setting a competitive target. Wessley Madhevere was the standout performer, top-scoring with a gritty 36. On the bowling front, New Zealand's attack was disciplined and effective, with every bowler contributing to keep the hosts in check. Matt Henry led the charge, claiming three wickets.

He was well supported by Rachin Ravindra and Daryl Mitchell, who kept the scoreboard ticking with ease. It was a tough outing for Zimbabwe's bowlers, with little to defend and no standout performances to put pressure on the visitors. A dominant all-round display from New Zealand, and they take this one with plenty of balls to spare. Devon Conway is the Player of the Match for his composed innings.
