Check out our prediction for the ZIM vs NZ 6th T20I at the Harare Sports Club, Harare.

Zimbabwe will look to finish their disappointing run in this series with a win

The hosts, Zimbabwe, are the only winless team in this competition. Having played 2 matches against South Africa and 1 against New Zealand, Zimbabwe has failed to win all three games so far. It is a big disappointment for Sikandar Raza and his men, considering they are playing at home.

The hosts have nothing to lose now, and with this being their final match of the series, they will look to go all guns blazing and register their first-ever win over New Zealand in the shortest format of the game. If they do so, they will no longer remain the only winless team of this series and end their disappointing campaign with a win before their home crowd.

New Zealand will look to continue their dominating run

Three wins in three games is what New Zealand has achieved in the Zimbabwe Tri-Series. They started their campaign with a convincing 21-run victory over South Africa on July 16. After winning their opening fixture, New Zealand completely dominated the hosts, Zimbabwe, by 8 wickets to register their second win of the series.

Their third win came against South Africa again, but this time it was a dominating one as the Blackcaps romped past the Proteas by a whopping margin of 7 wickets. With three wins in three games, New Zealand never lost possession of the table-top position on the points table.

New Zealand will look to keep their record intact with a win over Zimbabwe yet again. The Blackcaps have never lost a T20I to Zimbabwe, and this is one record they are proud of. Therefore, New Zealand will not leave any stone unturned in keeping their record intact and gaining momentum heading into the final of the Zimbabwe Tri-Series against South Africa, slated for July 26 at this very venue. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.
