Zimbabwe v New Zealand

Toss: Zimbabwe.

Thrilling hitting from Harris enabled New Zealand to earn a tie as they chased a Zimbabwe total of 233. They needed 30 from the final two overs, 15 from the last, and Larsen was run out at the non-striker's end coming back for what would have been the winning run. Zimbabwe's innings was made up of several useful contributions, but Harris dominated New Zealand's response, scoring an unbeaten from 102 balls. Otherwise it was mostly a poor effort, including four run-outs.

Man of the Match: C. Z. Harris.
