Preview

On July 30, 2025, the ZIM vs NZ will kick off with the first Test match at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo. The game is set to start at 1:30 PM IST. Following their successful tri-series T20 campaign in Harare, New Zealand returns to red-ball cricket with the start of a two-Test series against Zimbabwe.

The last time these two teams faced each other in a Test series, New Zealand won 2-0 in Bulawayo in 2016. On paper, the Blackcaps are still the clear favourites despite the time between series. In India, New Zealand won the last series 3-0. Zimbabwe’s solitary recent victory was against Bangladesh in April, but they have endured a series of crushing losses in 2025, including innings losses to South Africa and Bangladesh. Tom Latham is injured and will miss this game.
