Is collapse ke baad, New Zealand 158/1 se 200/6 par aa gaya tha, jo team ke liye chinta ka vishay tha.
Daryl Mitchell ne is mushkil waqt mein team ko sambhala. Unhone Mitchell Santner ke saath 33 run ki sazedaari ki, aur phir Nathan Smith ke saath 61 run jode. Nathan Smith ne 22 run banaye aur 79 ball kheli, jisme do ball unke sharir par lagi. Smith ko injury ke karan retire hurt hona pada.
Mitchell ne apni innings mein ek chhakka bhi lagaya, jo match ka pehla six tha. Lekin jab Nathan Smith aur Matt Henry out hue, to Mitchell ko risk lena pada. Unhone Newman Nyamhuri ki ball par scoop khelne ki koshish ki, lekin middle stump kho diya. Tab tak New Zealand ne lead ko 158 run tak pahuncha diya tha.
Zimbabwe ne apni doosri innings 25/0 se shuru ki, lekin Matt Henry aur Will O’Rourke ne jaldi hi do wicket le liye:
- Ben Curran (11 run): Matt Henry ki bouncer par fine leg mein out hue.
- Brian Bennett (18 run): Will O’Rourke ne unhe wicketkeeper ke haathon catch karaya.
Zimbabwe 31/2 par khatam hua, aur abhi bhi 127 run pichhe hai, jo New Zealand ko match mein majboot sthiti mein rakhta hai.
Queens Sports Club ki pitch ne bowlers ko kaafi madad di, jisme pace aur bounce dono tha. Zimbabwe ke fast bowlers Blessing Muzarabani (3/73) aur Tanaka Chivanga (2/51) ne short-pitch bowling ka istemaal kiya, jisse New Zealand ke batsmen pareshan hue.
Dusri taraf, New Zealand ke bowlers Matt Henry (6/39 pehli innings mein) aur Will O’Rourke ne bhi Zimbabwe ke batsmen ko mushkil mein rakha.
- Daryl Mitchell: 80 run (119 ball, 5 four, 1 six). Unki innings ne New Zealand ko collapse se ubara.
- Devon Conway: 88 run, jisme cover drives se teen chawke shamil the.
- Nathan Smith: 22 run (79 ball), jinhone Mitchell ke saath ahem sazedaari ki.
- Blessing Muzarabani: 3/73, jinhone din ki pehli ball par wicket liya.
- Tanaka Chivanga: 2/51, jinhone Conway aur Blundell ko out kiya.
New Zealand abhi match mein aage hai, kyunki unki 158 run ki lead aur Zimbabwe ke do wicket girne se unka hausla buland hai. Zimbabwe ke liye agla din mushkil hoga, kyunki unhe 127 run aur banana hai sirf New Zealand ko dobara batting ke liye bulane ke liye. Daryl Mitchell ki wajah se New Zealand ne apni grip mazboot rakhi hai, aur ab bowlers par zimmedari hai ki wo jaldi se baki wicket le.
