New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson believes that his side shouldn't panic by their shock loss against Zimbabwe if his side wants to bounce back in the three-match ODI series at Harare.

Calling on his team mates to make quick improvements, the 24-year-old said that they missed a bit with the ball which they need to address, adding that they would also need to focus on execution and batting as well, Stuff.co.nz reported

Williamson said that his side would be concentrating on positives emerged out of game one, insisting that they wouldn't be panicking.

Earlier, Zimbabwe defeated the tourists by seven-wicket in their first ODI on Sunday, chasing down an imposing target of 304 with six balls remaining, thanks to Craig Ervine's unbeaten 130.

New Zealand will be eyeing to win the second ODI on Tuesday to keep the one-day series alive.
