Providence Stadium, Guyana, could not shake off the weather which meant another rain truncated affair and another need for Duckworth Lewis to make their presence felt. However, Zimbabwe had pretty much sealed their fate much before.
Zimbabwe were bowled out for a measly eighty-four runs, giving New Zealand a free workout as their bowlers enjoyed the stint to the hilt.
Nathan McCullum made a nuisance of himself once more, taking three middle order wickets, after Zimbabwe lost their way post their openers, Tatenda Taibu and Hamilton Masakadza. The thirteenth over hammered the nails in the coffin as Scott Styris ripped for one final time all of Zimbabwe’s hopes, three wickets coming down in one dismal display.
Chasing the modest target, New Zealand were thirty-six for one after 8.1 overs and according to Duckworth Lewis, they only needed thirty. A disappointing ending for Zimbabwe after beating Australia in the 2010 ICC World Twenty20 warm up but the Super Eights beckon New Zealand.
