ZIM vs NZ Queens Sports Club Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Queens Sports Club has been a good sporting wicket with a bit of assistance for both batters and bowlers if they are ready to grind it out in the middle.
The bowlers can get the ball to swing and do its thing if they bowl in the right areas as a fast bowler.
The spinners, on the other hand, can expect a bit of turn from the wicket on days four and five if the match goes that far, and the responsibility of prolonging the match will be on Zimbabwe's batters.

As far as the batters of both sides are concerned, they will have to be cautious in the morning session on all five days because if they can negotiate the tricky period, then run scoring will become easy.
The onus will be on Zimbabwe's top and middle order to put up a fight against a relatively inexperienced New Zealand bowling lineup, as they failed to do so in the first match of the series.
Batting first after winning the toss is the way to go in the upcoming match, as it will provide an opportunity to put pressure on the opposition.
The team that bats first will look to score 330-340 runs, as anything less than that will bring the opposition into the game, as they will have the opportunity to take the lead if they bat well in the first innings.
As far as Zimbabwe is concerned, the Craig Ervine-led side would want to give its all in the last match in a bid to level the series and break the string of losses that they have experienced in the ongoing home season.
New Zealand would want their regular captain Tom Latham to gain full fitness before the second Test, as they are already without the services of fast bowling all-rounder Nathan Smith, who provides balance to the side.
Conclusion
Zimbabwe would hope to put its best foot forward to win the second Test and level the two-match Test series against New Zealand.
New Zealand, on the other hand, would want to impose a clean sweep over the home side by a win in the second game of the series.
