Zimbabwe may make changes to their batting lineup, while New Zealand is unlikely to make any changes following their victory. The hosts will be hoping for more from Richard Ngarava with the ball, but will have to play out of their skins to beat New Zealand.
New Zealand's youngsters, Tim Robinson and Bevon Jacobs, impressed with clinical performances in their previous match, while bowlers Jacob Duffy, Matt Henry, and Ish Sodhi and Mitchell Santner showcased their strength in depth. Zimbabwe, on the other hand, struggled despite Sikandar Raza's unbeaten 54* against South Africa, and their bowling effort was hindered by expensive overs from their bowling order.

With the addition of key players, New Zealand will be looking to continue their winning streak, while Zimbabwe will be hoping to bounce back from their previous defeat and challenge the current table leaders.
