Conway rides his luck to lead New Zealand to comfy T20 win over Zimbabwe
HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — If Devon Conway was a cat, he used eight of nine lives to lead New Zealand over Zimbabwe by eight wickets in Twenty20 cricket on Friday. Conway was dropped on 1, should have been run out on 34, survived a strong lbw appeal and miscued shots all over Harare Sports Club that happened to land safely. He ended up hitting the winnings runs, pulling Trevor Gwandu to the midwicket boundary for New Zealand to win with 6.1 overs to spare. Zimbabwe was made to bat first and scored only 120-7, and New Zealand replied with 122-2, Conway top-scoring with an unbeaten 59 off 40 balls, his first T20 half-century in 17 months. 'Got a bit lucky early and fortunate I got through that period,' Conway said. 'It was nice to spend some time in the middle.' New Zealand has two wins from two games in the T20 tri-series with South Africa. Zimbabwe opening batters Wessly Madhevere and Brian Bennett greeted the New Zealanders aggressively. But the run rate was falling from eight an over even before Bennett, 20 off 19, gave Henry his first wicket at the end of the powerplay. New Zealand could count on three spinners to Zimbabwe's one, and Mitchell Santner and Rachin Ravindra put the brakes on the home side. The only other decent scorer was Madhevere, who backed away to hit Adam Milne to the off side and lost his off stump after 36 off 32 balls. Henry took 3-26 and Santner and Ravindra a wicket each. When New Zealand batted, Blessing Muzarabani dropped Conway in the first over but made up for it by dismissing Tim Seifert in the second. As Conway rode his luck, Ravindra was on the charge with three consecutive boundaries off Gwandu and a six over deep backward point. His 30 off 19 lifted New Zealand more than halfway to the target. Conway didn't look comfortable until he was in the high 30s, but he and Daryl Mitchell, 26 off 19, steered New Zealand home by a wide margin. Zimbabwe plays South Africa next on Sunday. ___ AP cricket:

T20I Tri-Series: Devon Conway's Unbeaten 59 Powers New Zealand To 8-Wicket Win vs Zimbabwe
New Zealand sealed a comfortable eight-wicket victory over Zimbabwe at the Harare Sports Club on Friday. After Matt Henry 's three-wicket haul, alongside a scalp each for Adam Milne, Rachin Ravindra, Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner, restricted the hosts to 120/7, Devon Conway produced a man of the match performance by scoring an unbeaten 59 off 40 deliveries to seal the victory in the ongoing T20I Tri-Series between Zimbabwe, New Zealand and South Africa. Wessly Madhevere (36) and Brian Bennett (21) steered through the opening overs before the latter fell to Henry in the final over of the powerplay. Wicket-keeper batter Clive Madande 's (8) time at the crease was cut short by Ravindra. Madhvere continued to steadily build his innings and scored 36 off 32 deliveries, which included four boundaries, before he was castled over by Milne. Santner dismissed his counterpart Sikander Raza (12) before Henry claimed the wickets of Tony Munyonga (13) and Tashinga Musekiwa (4) to restrict the hosts to 120/7. In their chase of 121, Conway was given a lifeline when he was dropped in the first over of the second innings when he played a loose shot off Richard Ngarava 's back of a length delivery and was dropped by Blessing Muzarabani. If the catch was taken, Zimbabwe could have built further pressure as Tim Seifert (3) fell to Muzarabani. Rachin Ravindra (30) and Conway began to take the game away from the hosts which included the former smacking Trevor Gwandu for three consecutive boundaries in the fifth over. The left-handed all-rounder was ultimately undone by the short ball ploy. Tinotenda Maposa 's short ball, outside off, saw Rachin guide it towards third man where Muzarabani made no mistake this time around and took a fine catch while diving in front. Conway went on to reach his half-century in 34 deliveries and alongside Daryll Mitchell (26) went on to chase down the target in 13.5 overs with 37 balls remaining.

MLC 2025, WF vs SEO Qualifier 1 Dream11 Predictions: Fantasy tips, playing XI – Washington Freedom vs Texas Super Kings match
