In the second T20 tournaments match against New Zealand today at Hamilton, Brandon Taylor the Zimbabwe captain chose to bat first after winning the toss.
They are hoping for a more positive result as they are still to win a match in the international tournament.
Zimbabwe brought in Stuart Matsikenyeri in place of Forster Mutizwa, which is one change they made in their lineup. New Zealand made two changes, bringing in Tim Southee in place of Dough Bracewell and dropping the opener Martin Guptill who has made half centuries in the last five innings.
Pitch report: The pitch promises to offer good bounce all through the matches with even covering of grasses in good hard base.
