Pak W vs Zim W 1st T20I: Head-to-Head, Timings, Squads, and Where to Watch

by mishaalmubarak

Pakistan Women will face Zimbabwe in a three-match T20I series, set to begin on March 12. All three games, like the ODIs, will be played at the same venue: National Stadium, Karachi. The hosts defeated Zimbabwe 3-0 in the ODI series, which helped them climb to second place in the ICC Women’s Championship table, just below New Zealand.

This T20I series will serve as crucial preparation for Pakistan, as they have yet to name their T20 World Cup squad. In-form batters like Sadaf Shamas and Sidra Amin were named in the reserves for the squad, with Irum Javed called up for the first time since the 2024 Women’s T20 World Cup.

Additionally, Pakistan might also hand out debut caps to Amber Kainat and Saira Jabeen.

Head-to-Head Matches:

Pakistan and Zimbabwe have never competed in a T20I game before.

Squads for Pakistan T20I series:

Pakistan Women: Fatima Sana (c), Aliya Riaz, Amber Kainat, Ayesha Zafar, Eyman Fatima, Gull Feroza, Iram Javed, Muneeba Ali, Nashra Sandhu, Natalia Pervaiz, Rameen Shamim, Sadia Iqbal, Saira Jabeen, Tasmia Rubab, Tuba Hassan
