Zimbabwe women embark on a historic multi-format tour of USA

Harare, Apr 21 (UNI) Zimbabwe women’s cricket team are set to take on the United States of America across three T20Is and two ODIs.
The tour will kickstart with the T20I series, beginning from April 25. It will be followed by a couple
of ODIs scheduled for May 1 and 3.
All the games will be played at the Grand Prairie Stadium in Texas.
The two teams last squared off in October 2024 when USA toured Harare for an ODI series. While the hosts emerged victorious, it was a closely contested five-match series - separating the two teams with a 3-2 margin, an ICC report said.
“The US tour is a start to steady build-up towards the Ireland series in July which will give us a gauge in terms of where we are ahead of the FTP next year,” Zimbabwe women head coach Walter Chawaguta said.
“It also kickstarts our journey towards the Africa qualifiers later this year.”
Zimbabwe squad: Biza Beloved, Chipare Francesca, Dhururu Chiedza, Mabhero Lindokuhle, Makusha Tendai, Marange Precious, Mthomba Natasha, Mugeri-Tiripano Chipo, Mupachikwa Modester, Ndhlovu Kelis, Nkomo Josephine, Pasipanodya Runyararo, Sibanda Nomvelo,
Tshuma Loreen, Zimunu Adel
Non-Travelling Reserves: Gwanzura Nyasha, Ndiraya Kelly
