ZIM vs NZ 2nd Test, Dream11 Prediction: Zimbabwe were embarrassed by New Zealand in the first test, which ended in just three days, giving the visitors a 1-0 unassailable lead in the series. Now these two sides will be in action in the second test, which kicks off at 1:30 PM on Thursday at the Queens Sports Club.

Mitchell Santner will be leading the Black Caps once again, as Tom Latham is not fit. Nathan Smith and William O'Rourke are the other two players who will miss the game. These two stars suffered injuries. New Zealand have added two new players. Zimbabwe desperately need a change in fortune, as they have been poor with their form.

ZIM vs NZ: Ground Pitch Report

Queens Sports Club offers a bowling wicket with variable bounce, and the ball skids here more. The ball, once it gets old, will stick more to the surface, and it will not be easy to bat. The dry wicket will extract more out of the pitch, and we might see another bowler-dominant match here.

ZIM vs NZ: Possible XI

Zimbabwe: Ben Curran, Nicholas Welch, Sean Williams, Craig Ervine (c), Sikandar Raza, Brian Bennett, Tafadzwa Tsiga (wk), Newman Nyamhuri, Blessing Muzarabani, Vincent Masekesa, Wellington Masakadza

New Zealand: Will Young, Devon Conway, Rachin Ravindra, Henry Nicholls, Daryl Mitchell, Michael Bracewell, Tom Blundell (wk), Mitchell Santner (c), Matt Henry, Jacob Duffy, Zak Foulkes
