2nd T20: New Zealand crushed Zimbabwe to clinch series

Zimbabwe lost five wickets for five runs as New Zealand clinched the Twenty20 series 2-0 after scripting awe-inspiring 35-run victory in the rain-hit second game at Harare Sports Club on Monday.

Brendon McCullum (64) and Martin Guptill (67) established rock-hard 120-run opening stand to power Blackcaps 187-3 in the revised 18 overs after the hosts won toss and opted to field.

In reply, Chamu Chibhabha smashed 65 off just 39 balls to scamper Zimbabwe towards SUBSTATIOtarget but could not sustain the momentum and slumped to 154 all out in 16.5 overs.
