ZIM vs NZ Live Streaming: New Zealand is up agianst Zimbabwe for a two-match Test series. This series follows a successful T20 tri-series win by New Zealand in Zimbabwe and marks their return to red-ball cricket this year.

New Zealand come into the series as strong favourites, having won their last Test series against Zimbabwe 2-0 in 2016 and also a recent 3-0 Test series in India. Zimbabwe, led by Craig Ervine, are looking for redemption after heavy defeats earlier in 2025, with their only recent win against Bangladesh. The Tests will be played at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo.

ZIM vs NZ Tests Schedule

1st Test: July 30 - August 3, 2025

2nd Test: August 7 - August 11, 2025

Both Tests will be played at Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo, starting at 10 AM local time (1:30 PM IST)

New Zealand, returning to Test cricket after their last outing in December 2024, face a Zimbabwe side eager to end a winless streak against them in 17 Tests (11 losses, 6 draws). The Kiwis, led by Mitchell Santner in the absence of injured captain Tom Latham (only for 1st Test), are without key players Kane Williamson, Glenn Phillips, and Kyle Jamieson.

This offers Zimbabwe a chance to capitalize, bolstered by the return of all-rounder Sikandar Raza and opener Ben Curran. Sean Williams, Zimbabwe's standout batter with 577 runs in 2025, will be crucial, alongside pace spearhead Blessing Muzarabani. The Kiwis are likely to play with Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, and debutant Matt Fisher, with their bowling attack led by Matt Henry. Zimbabwe's recent form is poor, with six losses in seven Tests this year, including a 2-0 defeat to South Africa. New Zealand, coming off a 2-1 loss to England, aim to regain red-ball rhythm.
