Brilliant finishing by New Zealand.

115 runs in the final 10 overs and New Zealand end up with 303 on the board. Taylor remains unbeaten on 112, his 4th ton of 2015 #ZIMvNZ

Congrats Ross Taylor.

With this ton, @RossLTaylor goes level with Nathan Astle for the most overall international centuries (27) for New Zealand #ZIMvNZ ^CE

Congratulations Zimbabwe !! Their 2nd successful chase of 300+ target in ODI history – both against New Zealand, both in Zimbabwe. #ZIMvNZ

Epic fail in presentations.

Dirk Viljoen just said Brendon McCullum took three wickets. -facepalm- #zimvaotearoa

Pakistan are too clever.

This is why Pakistan don't want to play ODIs against Zimbabwe before 30th September ? #ZimvPak

Not a great away record for New Zealand this year.

New Zealand have now lost five of their last 7 ODIs – all AWAY from home
Before that had won 10 ODIs in a row (all at HOME) #ZimvNZ
