Zimbabwe v New Zealand, 2nd Twenty20, Harare Live Streaming

New Zealand were put in to bat as they aim to seal the two-match Twenty20 series against Zimbabwe in Harare. The start of play was delayed by rain for 25 minutes but no overs have been lost.

Seamer Graeme Aldridge debuts for New Zealand in place of Kyle Mills. Kane Williamson also missed out and Rob Nicol was been brought into the starting XI.

Zimbabwe are still without Tatenda Taibu, who injured his finger during warm-ups on Thursday. Forster Mutizwa will keep wicket as Regis Chakabva has been left out, while seam bowler Chris Mpofu has been brought in to partner Kyle Jarvis.

The bowlers will have their work cut out for them because the pitch appears good for batting and a score of around 160 would be par on the surface. Zimbabwe generally prefer chasing and so have picked that route as they aim to stop a losing streak that has lasted for nine international matches.

Zimbabwe: Hamiltom Masakadza, Chamu Chibhabha, Brendan Taylor (capt), Forster Mutizwa (wk), Malcolm Waller, Charles Coventry, Elton Chigumbura, Prosper Utseya, Ray Price, Kyle Jarvis, Chris Mpofu

New Zealand: Brendon McCullum (wk), Martin Guptill, Jesse Ryder, Ross Taylor (capt), Rob Nicol, James Franklin, Nathan McCullum, Jacob Oram, Doug Bracewell, Luke Woodcock, Graeme Aldridge
