Black Caps v Zimbabwe live updates: T20 Tri Series
Live updates of the Twenty20 between the Black Caps and Zimbabwe in Harare. The hosts are attempting to finish on a high after a winless campaign so far. The Black Caps are already through to Saturday's final where they will face South Africa. New Zealand cruise past Proteas in Twenty20 Tri-series final dress rehearsal The Black Caps have claimed bragging rights in their Twenty20 Tri-series final dress rehearsal against South Africa, taking an eight-wicket victory over the Proteas in Harare. Given hosts Zimbabwe are winless from their first three matches – two against South Africa and one against the Black Caps – these two sides will meet again at the same venue on Saturday (NZ time) to decide the series' victor. After winning the toss and bowling first, New Zealand restricted South Africa to 134/8 from their 20 overs, before reaching their 135-run target with seven wickets and 25 balls in hand. Even having rotated the bowling attack, with leader Matt Henry rested, Adam Milne (2/21) led the way with the ball, and was ably supported by captain Mitchell Santner (2/26) and Jacob Duffy (2/33). Then, come time to bat, Tim Seifert anchored New Zealand's chase with an unbeaten 66, laden with six boundaries and two sixes, having added half-century stands with Devon Conway (19) and an unbroken partnership of 51 for the fourth wicket with Daryl Mitchell (20 not out) to guide New Zealand home. 'Our bowlers bowled very well on that wicket,' said Seifert. 'On the whole, our bowlers have been outstanding this Tri-series. 'For us batters, it's always nice batting second on wickets like that. You get an upper hand of what the wicket's going to play like. 'It was a good display from the bowlers and the batters today.' Playing his second match of the series, Milne struck with his third ball – rooting Proteas skipper Rassie van der Dussen's off-stump, after being hit over mid-on for four on the previous ball. From there, South Africa were unable to build any partnerships of significance against the Proteas' depleted batting line-up, with a 30-run stand between Reeza Hendricks (41) and George Linde (30 not out) the best on offer. Once Hendricks fell in the 17th over – caught by Michael Bracewell off Duffy – South Africa's hopes of any sort of defendable target went with him. In response, Seifert and Conway added a 51-run partnership, taking only 30 balls to add the half-century stand. Seifert was given a life on zero, when he was dropped at long-off by Andile Simelane off Linde, and made the absolute most of the reprieve, as the opening pair worked the target to less than a run-a-ball needed. The wicket-keeper took 38 balls to raise his 50, highlighted by his aggression off South Africa's spinners, and reached his milestone by sending Senuran Muthusamy down the ground for the first six of the innings. Even as he lost Rachin Ravindra (3) and Mark Chapman (10), Seifert kept his composure and was joined by Mitchell in the 11th over. From there, the duo were untroubled, as Seifert belted Kwena Maphaka to the long-on boundary to complete the chase, and give the Black Caps their third win in succession under Rob Walter. The Black Caps will have one final chance to tune up for the Tri-series final, when they meet the already vanquished Zimbabwe on Thursday night.

Devon Conway's unbeaten fifty guides New Zealand to comfortable win over Zimbabwe
Harare: Right-arm seamer Matt Henry's three-wicket haul and opener Devon Conway's unbeaten fifty helped the New Zealand side to register a comfortable eight-wicket victory over hosts, Zimbabwe, in the third clash of the ongoing T20I tri-series at the Harare Sports Club on Friday. With this win, New Zealand moved to the top of the points table after winning their second match in a row in the ongoing series. They currently have a net run rate of +1.919, whereas Zimbabwe are at last with a net run rate of -2.374 after losing both of their games in the T20I series. Chasing a mere total of 121 runs to win the encounter, the Kiwis' batters Tim Siefert and Devon Conway came out to bat in the middle. The Blackcaps didn't have the start they wanted, as they lost their first wicket at 5, with Siefert sent back to the pavilion after scoring 3(5). The wicketkeeper-batter was dismissed by a right-arm seamer, Blessing Muzarabani, in the second over. After the opener's dismissal, left-hand batter Rachin Ravindra came to bat. The visitors touched the 50-run mark on the third ball of the seventh over as Conway took a single. In the ninth over, the Mitchell Santner-led side lost their second wicket as Ravindra was sent back to the dressing room after scoring 30(19), which came with the help of four boundaries and one six in his innings. He was dismissed by pacer Tinotenda Maposa. Following the southpaw's departure, right-hand batter Daryl Mitchell came out to the crease. In the 12th over, Conway completed his half-century as he slammed a maximum on the bowling of off-spinner Sikandar Raza. On the first ball of the 13th over, which was bowled by Muzarabani, Conway took a single and brought up the team's hundred. In the 14th over, New Zealand completed the chase with eight wickets in hand and 37 balls left in the game. At the end, Conway 59*(40) and Mitchell 26*(19) remained unbeaten on the crease. Conway was awarded the Player of the Match for his brilliant innings of 59* runs from 40 balls, which was laced with four boundaries and two maximums in his innings. For Zimbabwe, one wicket each was snapped by Muzarabani (1/27 in 4 overs) and Maposa (1/17 in 2 overs) in their respective bowling spells in the fixture. Earlier in the match, the Kiwis' captain, Mitchell Santner, won the toss and asked the hosts to bat first. Batting first, the Sikandar Raza-led side were able to score just 120 runs after losing seven wickets in 20 overs. The run-getters in this innings were Wessly Madhevere (36 runs off 32 balls), Brian Bennett (21 runs from 20 balls), Tony Munyonga (13 runs in 18 balls), Ryan Burl (12 runs off 9 balls), and Sikandar Raza (12 runs from 18 balls). For New Zealand, three wickets were grabbed by Matt Henry (3/26 in 4 overs), and one wicket each was bagged by Adam Milne (1/30 in 4 overs), Mitchell Santner (1/18 in 4 overs), Michael Bracewell (1/15 in 2 overs), and Rachin Ravindra (1/10 in 3 overs) in their respective spels in the first innings. Brief Score: Zimbabwe 120/7 in 20 overs (Wessly Madhevere 36, Brian Bennett 21; Matt Henry 3/26) vs New Zealand 122/2 in 13.5 overs (Devon Conway 59*, Rachin Ravindra 30; Tinotenda Maposa 1/17).

SA Vs NZ: Henry And Duffy Help New Zealand Edge South Africa In T20I Tri Series
Last Updated: Matt Henry and Jacob Duffy took six wickets, leading New Zealand to a 21-run win over South Africa in the T20I Tri-Series. Matt Henry and Jacob Duffy claimed six wickets between them, guiding New Zealand to a 21-run victory over South Africa in their opening match of the T20I Tri-Series at Harare Sports Club, defending a total of 173. Henry's early breakthroughs (3/34) and Duffy's crucial strikes in the final overs (3/20) overwhelmed the Proteas, despite a spirited fightback led by George Linde. This win marked a successful start to Rob Walter's coaching tenure with New Zealand, facing the team he previously coached. Chasing 174, South Africa struggled at 111 for 7 in the 14th over. Linde (30 off 20) and Gerald Coetzee (17) then formed a 37-run partnership, keeping their hopes alive. With 31 needed from the last three overs, Linde mistimed a pull shot and was caught at deep mid-wicket off Duffy. Duffy then dismissed Coetzee on the next ball, sealing the victory and earning a well-deserved three-wicket haul. Henry's new-ball spell set the tone earlier, including the key wicket of Lhuan-dre Pretorius, who had made a quick 27 but edged behind in the fourth over. Henry's bounce and movement troubled the South African top order, reducing them to 62 for 5 inside nine overs. Earlier in the day, New Zealand posted 173 for 5, thanks to a remarkable fightback from Tim Robinson (75 not out) and debutant Bevon Jacobs (44), who added an unbroken 103-run stand for the sixth wicket. Their partnership rescued the BlackCaps from a precarious 70 for 5 in the 10th over, making it New Zealand's second-highest stand for the sixth wicket in T20Is. Robinson showed composure and flair, hitting Coetzee for three sixes, including an impressive uppercut over backward point. Jacobs, playing his first game for New Zealand, rotated the strike effectively and punished loose deliveries, complementing Robinson perfectly. Earlier, South Africa's bowlers struck regularly, with Kwena Maphaka, Gerald Coetzee, and Corbin Bosch chipping away. However, they couldn't contain the late surge, which proved decisive. Pretorius, after a golden duck in the series opener, came out aggressively. He hit five boundaries in his 17-ball 27, giving the chase early momentum. But once Henry dismissed him, wickets fell quickly. Rassie van der Dussen's run-out, a sharp piece of fielding involving Tom Seifert and Mitchell Santner, added to South Africa's troubles. The middle order failed to fire, and even Brevis and Linde's counter-attacks weren't enough. With Michael Bracewell, Glenn Phillips, and Rachin Ravindra unavailable due to MLC duties, New Zealand will be encouraged by the performance of their bench strength. Walter's new era has started with grit, control, and a win. Brief Scores: New Zealand 173/5 (Tim Robinson 75 not out, Bevon Jacobs 44, Kwena Maphaka 2/38) beat South Africa 152 all out in 18.2 overs (Dewald Brevis 35, George Linde 30; Jacob Duffy 3/20, Matt Henry 3/34) by 21 runs.
