New Zealand complete crushing innings win over Zimbabwe
AFP | Zimbabwe New Zealand completed a crushing win by an innings and 359 runs on the third day of the second Test against Zimbabwe at Queens Sports Club on Saturday. Zak Foulkes, playing in his first Test match, took five for 37 as Zimbabwe were bowled out for 117 in their second innings. Nic Welch, batting at number three, made an unbeaten 47 and stood virtually alone against the New Zealand pace attack. It was the third-biggest win by an innings in Test history. England beat Australia by an innings and 579 runs at The Oval in London in 1938. Australia defeated South Africa by an innings and 360 runs in Johannesburg in 2001/02. "We bowled well in the first innings after losing the toss," said Mitch Santner, who captained New Zealand in both Tests in the absence of the injured Tom Latham. "And the batsmen got through some tough periods with their partnerships and then cashed in. " New Zealand's previous biggest win – and Zimbabwe's previous heaviest defeat – was by an innings and 301 runs when the two teams met in Napier in 2011/12. Zimbabwe suffered their sixth successive defeat – four of them by an innings - since beating Bangladesh in Sylhet in April. New Zealand declared their first innings closed on their overnight total of 601 for three. It took only three balls for Matt Henry to start the home team's collapse when he bowled Brian Bennett for his second duck of the match. Henry had Brendan Taylor caught at second slip and Jacob Duffy caught Sean Williams off his own bowling before Matthew Fisher had Zimbabwe captain Craig Ervine held at third slip. Foulkes, who briefly returned to New Zealand after a triangular Twenty20 series but was recalled after Nathan Smith was injured in the first Test, took the next five wickets. Foulkes had match figures of nine for 77. Devon Conway, who scored 153 for New Zealand, was player of the match while Henry, who took 16 wickets across the two matches, was player of the series.

Zak Foulkes Creates History On Test Debut For New Zealand Against Zimbabwe
In a dazzling entry into Test cricket, Zakary 'Zak' Foulkes has redefined debut brilliance for New Zealand. The 23-year-old right-arm medium-pacer delivered the best bowling figures ever by a Kiwi on Test debut, capturing match figures of 9 for 75, including a devastating 5 for 37 in the second innings against Zimbabwe at Bulawayo. Historic Feat in Bulawayo Foulkes's performance surpassed the previous record held by Will O'Rourke, who had achieved 9 for 93 on Test debut against South Africa in Hamilton in 2023. His match haul of 9 wickets came at an exceptional average, an early testament to his impact. His spell of 5 for 37 in just eight overs was particularly lethal, dismantling Zimbabwe's batting lineup and sealing a crushing innings-and-359-run victory, New Zealand's largest ever margin in Test cricket, and the third-largest by runs in Test history. Praise from the Camp Stand-in captain Mitchell Santner couldn't hide his admiration, calling Foulkes's feat 'pretty special' and praising his stamina and swing: 'He was going for that ten-for … to bowl ten overs in a row is credit to him.' A Promising Beginning Foulkes's rise from T20 and ODI formats to this standout Test performance marks him as one of the most exciting new prospects in Kiwi cricket. His swing bowling, both in and away, has already drawn comparisons, and fans on r/blackcapscricket have been quick to highlight his potential: 'He takes wickets. Every format… his special action.' Zakary Foulkes's debut ranks among the most memorable in modern Test cricket and could be the start of a remarkable international career.

New Zealand Crushes Zimbabwe, Secures Historic Series Win
Last Updated: Zimbabwe's batting struggles against New Zealand resulted in no fifty-plus scores, a historic low. Zimbabwe's batting struggles in the recent series against New Zealand led to an undesirable record. It marked only the sixth time in Test history that a team played a series of at least two matches without scoring a single fifty-plus. As Wisden noted, Sean Williams' 49 in the first Test was Zimbabwe's highest individual score in the series. This last occurred in the 1895-96 season when South Africa's Barberton Halliwell top-scored with 41 in a three-match home series against England. Devon Conway, Henry Nicholls, and Rachin Ravindra each scored centuries, while pacer Zakary Foulkes delivered a historic spell, helping New Zealand achieve an overwhelming victory over Zimbabwe by an innings and 359 runs in Bulawayo on Saturday. With this win, the Kiwis secured a 2-0 series triumph and registered their largest win in Test cricket history. This win also ranks as the third-largest victory margin in Tests by runs, following England's innings and 579 runs win over Australia in 1938 and Australia's innings and 360 runs win over South Africa. After Zimbabwe won the toss, only Brendan Taylor (44 off 107 balls, with six fours) and Tafadzwa Tsiga (33* off 54 balls, with four boundaries) managed to cross the 20-run mark, as Matt Henry (5/40) and Foulkes (4/38) bowled out Zimbabwe for a mere 125 runs in 48.5 overs. In their first innings, New Zealand posted a massive total. Opener Devon Conway (153 off 245 balls, with 18 fours) ended his two-year century drought, forming a 162-run opening stand with Will Young (74 off 101 balls, with 11 fours). Nicholls (150* off 245 balls, with 15 fours) and Rachin (165* off 139 balls, with 21 fours and two sixes) contributed a substantial 256-run partnership for the fourth wicket as New Zealand declared at 601/3, leading by 476 runs. Facing this massive deficit, Zimbabwe struggled under scoreboard pressure from the start, with only Nick Welch (47* off 71 balls, with seven fours) managing over 20 runs. Foulkes (5/37), Henry, and Jacob Duffy (two wickets each) bowled out Zimbabwe for just 117 runs, securing a resounding victory. Conway's comeback century, which helped him surpass 2,000 Test runs and 5,000 international runs, earned him the 'Player of the Match' award.
