New Zealand in Zimbabwe ODI Series - 2nd ODI, Toss: New Zealand won the toss and elected to field, Zimbabwe 84/4 (25.2 overs),
New Zealand who seem to be competing at a different level against the hapless Zimbabweans, would be looking to clinch the one day series, when the two teams go head to head in the second of three one-dayers in Harare on Saturday.
Having beaten Zimbabwe convincingly in the two Twenty20s, and the first ODI on Thursday, the Kiwis would to be going all out to settle the issue in their favour, before the third and final match of the series in Bulawayo, on Tuesday.

Zimbabwe made two changes. They replaced opener ChamuChibhabha and fast bowler Kyle Jarvis with two allrounders - medium-pacer Keegan Meth and offspinner Malcolm Waller. Meth was making his comeback to the side after suffering a severe facial injury during the 5th ODI against Bangladesh in August.
