Zimbabwe Women set for historic tour of Pakistan ahead of T20 World Cup

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) unveiled the schedule for Zimbabwe's historic tour of Pakistan on Friday, April 11. Pakistan will host Zimbabwe for three ODIs and as many T20Is in May. All six matches of the series are scheduled to be played at National Bank Stadium in Karachi, with Zimbabwe set to arrive in the city on Wednesday, 29 April.

The tour will begin with the ODI series, set to commence on May 3, with the second and third fixtures scheduled to be played on 6 and 9 May, respectively. The series will also be a part of the ICC Women’s Championship 2025-29, where Pakistan are currently placed fifth with two points after losing the away series against South Africa by 1-2 earlier this year. 

On the other hand, the three-match T20I series will begin on May 12, with the remaining two fixtures scheduled to be played on May 14 and 15, respectively.

The T20I series will serve as a vital preparation for Pakistan ahead of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, set to be played in England and Wales from 12 June to 5 July.

Pakistan will also play a T20I tri-series against West Indies and hosts Ireland from 28 May to 4 June, ahead of the T20 World Cup.

Pakistan are placed in Group A for the mega event alongside Bangladesh, South Africa, the Netherlands, Australia and arch-rivals India.  The Women in Green will begin their campaign against India on Sunday, June 14, at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
