Zimbabwe 11 vs New Zealand playing- Match 3, Zimbabwe T20i TRI Series 2025:
Opener: Brian Bennett, Wesley Madhavre
Zimbabwe will open batting with the pair of Brian Bennett and Wesley Madhavre in the third match of Tri-Series against New Zealand.
The pair was not able to make the host start well in the initial match of the Tri -series against South Africa, and would see to correct things in the upcoming match against New Zealand.

As far as the personal performance of the two batsmen in the first match is concerned, Bennett scored for a start and scored 30 runs, but was not able to convert it into a significant score.
Bennett’s innings did not make much difference due to the fact that he played at a strike rate of just 100.
Madhavre, on the other hand, failed to make good use of the opportunity in the first game as the batsman was rejected quickly, and would see to make a strong comeback in a important game against New Zealand.
Middle-order batsman and all-rounders: Clive Madande (WK), Alexander Raza (C), Ryan Berl, Tashinga Mujikiva, Tony Munyonga
Like the openers, the middle-order batsmen of Zimbabwe found it difficult to score against some disciplined bowling from the South African bowlers in the first match.
It was an experienced pair of Captain Siknadar Raza and Ryan Berl, who scored 54 and 29 runs respectively, but tried to stabilize the ship, but were not able to prolong their innings.
The inability to replace the batsmen begins in a big score, came to harass them in the first match, and Siknadar Raza’s led side will be seen to improve the third game of the Tri-Nation series against New Zealand.
The home team is expected to go to the third match with the same batting combination and will have a desire to perform more responsible than the batsmen.
Bowler: Wellington Masakadza, Ashirwad Mujarabani, Richard Narwa, Trever Gwandu
As far as the bowling innings is concerned, this situation was much better, brought the team back to the game with initial attacks before Gwandu was injured with the choice of Richard Narwawa and Trever Gwandu.
Both bowlers were well supported by blessing Mizarabani, who bowled financially and conceded 22 runs in three overs.
Saying that, Zimbabwe’s bowlers were not able to maintain pressure in the middle overs, and this is something they want to correct in their second game of the series.
The domestic side would like their spinners to keep pressure on the opposition batsmen in the middle overs to make things easier for bowlers at least fast.
Rainbow Nation is expected to go with an unchanged bowling lineup in the third match against New Zealand and would like Gwandu to fit and be available for the game.
