1st ODI: Zimbabwe v New Zealand at Harare

New Zealand will be testing out their depth for this series with Brendan McCullum, Boult and Southee all being rested. Zimbabwe have not fared well in recent years against New Zealand in any format of the game with just 1 win in their last 14 meetings. Their last win against the Black Caps came in 2011 when they impressively chased down 329.

Zimbabwe have won the toss and elected to have a bowl. Legspinner Ish Sodhi makes his debut for New Zealand. I will be interested to see how he fares as his career numbers haven't been all that impressive to date.

and as i am typing this , He gets to the pitch of the ball and gives himself ample room and flays it across for FOUR
