Playing for Zimbabwe against New Zealand in the first Test of the 2-Test series of 2016 at Bulawayo, debutant Prince Masvaure and Donald Tiripano added 85 runs for the 9th wicket. Zimbabwe recovered a few early blows to reach 72 for 4, but a blistering morning spell by Neil Wagner left them reeling at 72 for 8: they lost 4 wickets for no runs in a span of 9 balls. Then Tiripano and Masvaure got together, taking the score to 157 for 9 before Masvaure (42) was given out LBW to Tim Southee with a delivery that was probably sliding down leg. Tiripano was left stranded on 49 as Zimbabwe were bowled out for 164. LIVE CRICKET SCORECARD: Zimbabwe  vs  New Zealand , Live Score, 1st Test match at Bulawayo
