Meanwhile, in Bulawayo for the second test, New Zealand have continued their dominance on Day 2, amassing a massive 601/3 in their first innings, establishing a lead of 476 runs. This was built upon the back of some superlative batting performances, three centuries so far, with Henry Nicholls and Rachin Ravindra both scoring impressive centuries to go along with a great start from Devon Conway. The Kiwis’ batting prowess was a stark contrast to Zimbabwe’s lacklustre performance on Day 1, where they were bowled out for a paltry 125. The Zimbabwean batsmen struggled against a disciplined New Zealand bowling attack, with Matt Henry and Zakary Foulkes being the chief destroyers. Facing a potential whitewash, Zimbabwe will have to produce an extraordinary performance to avoid a heavy defeat.
