Fast bowler Matt Henry delivered an impressive performance, taking 6-39 on Wednesday, as Zimbabwe struggled in its first test match against New Zealand in nearly nine years, getting bowled out for 149 runs.
Zimbabwe's captain Craig Ervine, after winning the toss, opted to bat first but saw his team dismissed within 2 ½ sessions, posting their second-lowest innings total of the year, while New Zealand reached 92-0 at stumps with Devon Conway unbeaten at 51.
Henry's precise bowling dismantled Zimbabwe's top order, despite some missed catching opportunities. New Zealand showcased exceptional fielding, continuing their winning momentum demonstrated last week in Harare, while captained for the first time in tests by Mitchell Santner, due to Tom Latham's absence.
