New Zealand's Innings

• Tim Seifert and Rachin Ravindra combined for 108-run stand for the second wicket
• Ravindra was the aggressor, taking the attack to Zimbabwe from the get go
• Seifert caught up soon enough, bringing his 12th T20I fifty in 33 deliveries
• Michael Bracewell played a handy cameo of 26 not out in 16 deliveries

Zimbabwe's Innings

• New Zealand brought Sodhi on in the PowerPlay itself, and the spinner picked up three cheap wickets inside the fifth over of the chase
• Zimbabwe finished their PowerPlay with 38/4
• The recovery was very difficult from that point, and barring the 51-run partnership between Tony Munyonga and Tashinga Musekiwa, there was no fight
• It was Sodhi once again who broke that stand, from where Zimbabwe's lower-order just collapsed
