Can't Really Complain About Anything From This Game, Says Santner After Test Series Win

Queens Sports Club: New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner hailed his side’s all-round performance in the 2-0 Test series win over Zimbabwe, adding that he was pleased with the bowlers stepping up to dismiss the hosts cheaply in both innings of the match at Queens Sports Club.

On Saturday, New Zealand wrapped up their biggest-ever Test victory courtesy of thrashing Zimbabwe by an innings and 359 runs to complete a 2-0 series sweep. After declaring their second innings on 601 for 3 in 130 overs at the start of day three, New Zealand debutant pacer Zakary Foulkes claimed a five-wicket haul while Matt Henry, Jacob Duffy, and Matt Fisher also shared the spoils to bundle out Zimbabwe for 117 in their second innings.

“A great game in all aspects. We were challenged at times throughout the game, and I guess we kind of got through those periods by cashing in on it. I think the way we bowled, especially in the first innings, it was probably a little bit there, but the way we bowled Zimbabwe for 120 in that first innings, and then we could really cash in with the bat, can't really complain about anything from this game,” said Santner in the post-match press conference.
