Needing 14 to win off the final over, Williamson struck four, six, four in successive Shingi Masakadza deliveries to pull off a five-wicket win with two balls to spare. Left to chase 201 to complete a six-from-six record against the Zimbabweans, it seemed the tourists would head home with something to smile about after a disappointing tour when the McCullum brothers were out to catches in the deep off consecutive balls in the penultimate over.

New Zealand needed 27 off 12 balls, and with that double loss the dice seemed to have bounced the tourists' way for a final time. Poor Masakadza needed a steady over but couldn't manage it as Williamson demonstrated his skills in a tight situation. The mischevious might wonder if New Zealand had a cunning plan to put some heat on their batsmen, so poor was much of the bowling in the first half of the contest. The fielding wasn't flash either.
