Zimbabwe vs New Zealand prediction

New Zealand are coming off the back of a flawless T20 tri-series which saw them triumph with a perfect record of five wins from five against a combination of Zimbabwe and South Africa. You would expect them to take their fantastic form into the red ball game when assessing their squad for this two-match Test series.

Zimbabwe have an uphill climb when considering the Black Caps' expected side and although a potential flat pitch in Bulawayo may give the hosts a chance, New Zealand have enough potency within their bowling attack to twice bowl out their opponents and so it's worth backing the tourists.
