The second Test match between Zimbabwe and New Zealand saw a display of batting excellence that has rarely been witnessed in Test cricket. Three New Zealand batsmen each scored over 150 runs in the first innings, marking a historic moment. The last time this happened was 39 years ago, with only India and England achieving a similar record in 1986 and 1938 respectively. The stellar performances of Devon Conway, Henry Nicholls, and Rachin Ravindra highlighted New Zealand’s dominance. Conway, returning after a two-year hiatus, scored 153 runs. Nicholls and Ravindra built a substantial partnership, with Nicholls ending the day not out at 150 and Ravindra scoring 165 runs.
