PAK-W vs ZIM-W: First T20I Match Prediction and Key Details Pakistan women’s team will face Zimbabwe women’s team in the first T20I of a bilateral series on May 12 at the National Stadium in Karachi. The match is part of a broader preparation for the upcoming Women’s T20 World Cup, with Pakistan aiming to maintain their aggressive batting style and strong bowling attack. The series follows Pakistan’s recent 3-0 sweep in a One-Day International (ODI) series against Zimbabwe, where their top-order batters, including Gul Ferozah and Sadia Ikbal, delivered standout performances. The team’s bowling unit, led by spinners Sadia Ikbal and Fatima Sana, also proved effective in restricting Zimbabwe’s batting. Zimbabwe women’s team, on the other hand, is seeking a strong start after struggling to adapt to the conditions in Karachi during the ODI series. The T20 format is expected to offer them more flexibility, particularly with the pitch conditions at the National Stadium. The pitch is anticipated to favor batting, similar to the ODI series, with a track that provides good bounce and pace. However, the match is scheduled for late evening, which may affect the pitch as the game progresses. The damp conditions could make the ball swing more and create challenges for spinners, potentially favoring the team that wins the toss and chooses to bat first. The match details include a start time of 7:30 PM local time (Karachi), with the pitch conditions expected to evolve as the game progresses. The National Stadium’s pitch is historically known for its assistance to batters, but the late timing may introduce additional challenges. The prediction suggests that the team winning the toss will opt to bat first, leveraging the conditions for a strong start.#zimbabwe_women #national_stadium_karachi #pakistan_women #fatima_sana #sadia_ikbal
Pakistan Women's Dominant 3-0 Series Sweep Over Zimbabwe Women in ICC Women's Championship 2025-29 Pakistan Women capped off a dominant series with a nine-wicket demolition of Zimbabwe Women in the third and final One-Day International (ODI) at the National Stadium in Karachi, completing a 3-0 sweep that lifted them to second place in the ICC Women's Championship 2025-29 standings with eight points from six matches. The victory marked a significant milestone for Pakistan, showcasing their superiority in the series and solidifying their position in the global rankings. Zimbabwe, invited to bat first by stand-in captain Muneeba Ali, posted 222 for 9 in their 50 overs without ever threatening to set a truly imposing target. Beloved Biza top-scored with a fluent 73 off 88 balls, while Kelis Ndhlovu provided solid support with 51 off 72. Tasmia Rubab led the bowling attack with three wickets, and Ayesha Zafar was miserly throughout, conceding just 13 runs in six overs on her way to two dismissals. What followed was barely a contest. Sadaf Shamas and Gull Feroza had made a habit of dismantling Zimbabwe this series, and they did so once more with a 220-run opening stand—Pakistan's second-highest partnership for any wicket in WODIs and their third consecutive 150-plus stand of the series. Their combined tally of 571 runs across three matches is the highest ever by an opening pair in a bilateral ODI series. Gull Feroza was the aggressor, reaching her hundred off just 83 balls to break her own record for the fastest ODI century by a Pakistan women's batter—a record she had set only three days earlier. She finished unbeaten on 106, ending the series with 256 runs at an average of 128. Sadaf fell agonisingly short of consecutive hundreds, caught for 90 in the 32nd over. Pakistan completed the chase in 31.#zimbabwe_women #sadaf_shamas #gull_feroza #pakistan_women #beloved_biza
