New Zealand cemented their dominance in the T20 tri-series with a decisive 60-run victory over host Zimbabwe on Thursday. Tim Seifert smashed 75 runs, while Rachin Ravindra contributed significantly with 63 off 39 balls. The duo helped New Zealand to post the highest tournament total of 190-6.
In response, Zimbabwe crumbled under pressure as Ish Sodhi's career-best figures of 4-12 restricted them to 130 in 18.5 overs. Despite Zimbabwe captain Sikandar Raza urging his team to maintain morale, sloppy fielding, including several dropped catches, compounded their woes.
Looking ahead, New Zealand will face South Africa in the tri-series final on Saturday. The hosts, meanwhile, will reflect on a series of missed opportunities as they exit the tournament without a win.
