Zimbabwe Women vs West Indies Women 2nd T20I: Preview
West Indies Women produced a dominant performance in the series opener on October 3, defeating Zimbabwe Women by eight wickets with 43 balls to spare. Zimbabwe managed only 97/9 in 20 overs after being sent in to bat.
Beloved Biza top-scored for Zimbabwe with 21 runs, while Modester Mupachikwa contributed 20.
Zimbabwe struggled to build partnerships as West Indies bowlers took wickets at regular intervals. Karishma Ramharack finished with 3/17. Afy Fletcher and Jahzara Claxton picked up two wickets each for the Windies.
West Indies made the chase look easy. They reached 98/2 in just 12.5 overs. Realanna Grimmond scored 34, and Jahzara Claxton remained unbeaten on 31. Claxton was named Player of the Match for her all-round contribution, having also taken two wickets.
Zimbabwe will need a much-improved batting performance to level the series. Their top order struggled to convert starts in the first match, while the middle order failed to maintain the scoring rate.
