Part-timers spin New Zealand to victory

  • New Zealand win two-match series 2-0
  • Guptill returns career-best figures of 3-11

Sean Williams (11) was Guptill's second victim as he smashed a drive to Williamson at short cover, before debutant Peter Moor (one) was plumb lbw to Sodhi.

Graeme Cremer (1) got an inside edge on to the pad off Guptill but was given out lbw by Reiffel, before umpire Michael Gough adjudged Prince Masvaure (11) had been caught by Ross Taylor at slip off Sodhi the ball came off his pad only.

There could be no complaints but the wicket that finished the game, though, as Michael Chinouya (0) offered a simple catch to Williamson.

"We showed fight. I couldn't ask for anything more," Zimbabwe skipper Cremer said.

"Any cricket for us is really appreciated. We need to be playing more to be more competitive."

New Zealand now head to South Africa for a two-test series starting in Durban on August 19.
