New Zealand in Zimbabwe, 2011

Having won the T20I and the ODI series, New Zealand will look to sign off with a win in the one-off Test match.

Jesse Ryder was ruled out of the one-off Test against Zimbabwe after suffering a right calf strain in a warm-up game against Zimbabwe A.

Malcom Waller finished on 99 not out off 74 balls as Zimbabwe chased down a New Zealand total of 328.

Zimbabwe fight for pride while New Zealand will strive to be ruthless and make a clean sweep in the three match series.

For the second successive match, Zimbabwe captain Brendan Taylor hit an unbeaten century and finished on the losing side as New Zealand won the second one-day international by four wickets.

Rob Nicol hit a century on his one-day international debut as New Zealand romped to a nine-wicket win in the first match against Zimbabwe at Harare Sports Club.

Having comfortably won the T20I series, New Zealand will be looking to assert their dominance over Zimbabwe in the ODIs.

Uncapped paceman Graeme Alridge, who is already in the squad for the limited-overs matches, will remain with the side for the test starting on Nov. 1.

Brendon McCullum and Martin Guptill continued their assault on the Zimbabwe bowlers to set up a comfortable win in the second and final Twenty20 international.

New Zealand are clear favourites to win the match unless Zimbabwe springs a major surprise less then 48 hours after receiving a severe mauling.
