Another easy victory for the White Ferns as they bowled Zimbabwe out for just 86 to claim a 110-run win in the 2nd T20I in Hamilton.
Set 197 runs to win, the visitors lost Nyasha Gwanzura early when she lofted straight to short cover off Jess Kerr's first over.

Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano played a couple of nice shots before she was cleaned up by Bree Illing in the fourth.
A 21-run stand third-wicket stand between Kellie Ndhlovu and Beloved Biza provided some hope for Zimbabwe but once that was broken it all unraveled.
While Chiyedza Dhururu hit three boundaries in a flashy 20 off 13, she received very little support from the Zimbabwe lower order.
Ferns bowlers Nensi Patel and Kayley Knight both got through some valuable overs and the Northern Districts' pair were rewarded for their efforts with two wickets apiece.
Patel's 2-11 off four could have been even better if not for some ordinary fielding efforts. Jess Kerr took 2-17 off her 3.3 overs.
Earlier the White Ferns innings featured Izzy Gaze scoring 85 not out from 54 balls including 13 fours.
Amelia Kerr made 82 from 52 balls with 13 fours and one six while Izzy Sharp finished at 22 not out from 14 balls.
The White Ferns will try for a clean sweep at the third T20 International on Sunday afternoon at Seddon Park in Hamilton.
