Harare: Martin Guptill smashed 105 to steer New Zealand to a four wicket win over Zimbabwe in the second one-day international on Saturday.
Guptill faced 121 balls and cracked nine boundaries as the Kiwis overhauled Zimbabwe's total of 259-8 to clinch the three match ODI series.
New Zealand finished on 261-6 off 48.2 overs.
Guptill put on a 157-run second wicket partnership with Brendon McCullum (87), aided by dropped catches from Zimbabwe.
Earlier, Zimbabwe captain Brendan Taylor scored an undefeated 107 to become the first Zimbabwean to score back-to-back hundreds in international cricket.
The third and final one-dayer is on Tuesday at Bulwayo.
