Watch and bet on New Zealand v Zimbabwe 1st ODI live at bet365 > live streaming > cricket on Thursday from 0730 hours GMT.

Poor Zimbabwean bowling has been the highlight of the New Zealand tour so far and unless they can remedy this malaise quickly, things could quickly go the T20I way for the home side. In the two T20Is, the Zimbabwean bowling has gone kaput, allowing the opposition to rake up runs at more than 10 runs per over. 

It was always expected that New Zealand would make a better fist of the Zimbabwean bowling than Bangladesh or even Pakistan but even by those standards, the no-show has been a surprise. Zimbabwe could well be missing an incisive bowling option in Brian Vitori but given the manner in which the likes of Martin Guptill and Brendon McCullum have batted, it is difficult to assume that it would have made much difference.

What would have helped Zimbabwe a tad is their batting in the second T20I, especially from their captain Brendan Taylor, who ensured that the loss margin wasn’t too big in the second T20I. What Zimbabwe probably need is for Taylor to bat from both the ends to have a chance to challenge New Zealand.

The one Achilles Heel for the tourists could be the lack of batting practice for their middle-order after the first two games were won with an ease. The first match was won by 10 wickets and by the time the side lost their first wicket in the second game, there were only seven overs remaining. Zimbabwe may want to try and expose the Kiwi middle-order. 

Despite that, New Zealand should win this one with ease (1/8 at Blue Square), even as Paddy Power offers 9/2 for a shock win for Zimbabwe.
