New Zealand 127 for no loss (Brendon McCullum 81 *, 40 * Guptill) beat Zimbabwe 123 for 8 (50 * Taylor, Mills 2-15) by 10 wickets

The New Zealand were playing in his first international match since the World Cup semi-final in March, but was completely at ease at the Harare Sports Club. Their bowlers showed a lot of discipline and some signs of rust in Zimbabwe 123 to limit a good batting pitch, and the couple opened Brendon McCullum led, has ensured that it was all one way with a dominant Chase.

Asked to bat, Brendan Taylor, said, hoping to score 160, but the early loss of the open inning, got the rest of the configuration approached with caution. Kyle Mills bowled off a channel constant popping out and a few boundaries, although supplanted Hamilton Masakadza and Chamu Chibhabha in QuickTime. He received a small movement, and was assisted by a knife aggressive purpose - Masakadza tried to swarm him at mid-off, but was caught when a swing-blind Chibhabha produced from the outer edge.

The responsibility fell on Taylor to anchor sleeves and well when it was, did not find the desired support at the other end. He turns to strike and it worked well between the wickets in the ground once spread, but for most of his sleeves, Zimbabwe could not keep a running pace of just over six years in which much more is needed. Forster Mutizwa, Malcolm Waller and Charles Coventry starts, but all had difficulty in forcing the pace, and lost their wickets.

New Zealand, spinners, Luke Woodcock and Nathan McCullum, found no support in the field, but changed its flight, the duration and timing and to avoid escalation of Zimbabwe. They did occasional bad balls hanging container Taylor - Woodcock, sent through the door when running and slog-swept acute Nathan McCullum, who was also broken by six of Waller. However, while Taylor took them, that have been successful at the other end. Mutizwa was stuck in the front, Coventry and Waller fell in their favor the big boys.

Only Elton Chigumbura joined Taylor, who seemed to Zimbabwe could achieve a competitive total, and a couple of steps two at a running hard and go forward but their efforts were not sufficient. On a flat field, their strength and took a lot of progress and the inning, which was connected to the game as ODI Twenty20 since they have lost the open has given them a lower score.

Brendon McCullum made them pay for hurricane innings, backup, and Martin Guptill. Zimbabwe was the first roll over and let Brendon McCullum twice in his Blitz, and began to make fun of what their batsmen had failed. The signs were already evident at third, when he commanded Kyle Jarvis, and launched the massive six over long-off. He showed tremendous bat speed, cutting and pulling the bowlers for more than one square meter and was completely at ease, giving space and loft out over the covers.

Brendon McCullum for rent in Jarvis on his return later in the sleeves and accelerated in order to break Chibhabha of six consecutive one more of the 20 recovered. Guptill was not far behind, swaying in the stands Masakadza end to a stream of 40 years, but a companion game ended in edit mode, the dance of Ray Price and send the ball over to allow a large relatively long crowded Harare surprised by his ruthless hitters.
