In the last 5 years we have won 21 ODIs, 16 times we have won batting second, and only 5 batting first. Clearly we are much better at chasing down totals. I believe our bowling has been mostly toothless over the last 5 years making defending any total difficult.
Anusha gamage always said we should always bat first, shows what s/he knows!
Additionally, these victories are the first ODI victories away from home against a full-member since 2010 when we beat both the Windies and Bangladesh overseas. In fact between 2011-2015 we went almost four years without an away ODI-win against anyone - (Kenya at the 2011 CWC and then UAE at the 2015 CWC)!

Since the Waller 99 against New Zealand, I have noticed thatzimbabwe are hardening a bit and don't stumble at the finishing line like they used too.
