Zimbabwe takes on New Zealand in the third T20I of the Tri-Series 2025. The match starts from 4:30 PM IST in Harare. Every team has played one game each so far in the series.
The series opener was played between Zimbabwe and South Africa, with the Proteas winning the match by five wickets. New Zealand then defeated South Africa by 21 runs after posting 173 runs batting first.
The third T20I is a crucial one for the hosts, with them losing the first game. Losing this one would peg them back in the series. Zimbabwe skipper Sikandar Raza needs to lift his side after their ordinary batting performance in the previous match. Meanwhile, New Zealand will look to keep up the good work they did in the first T20I by repeating their performance.
