Zimbabwe Women vs West Indies Women 3rd ODI: Preview
West Indies made an emphatic start to the tour, securing a convincing win in the opening ODI. Captain Hayley Matthews produced a record-breaking innings, smashing 182 from 156 deliveries to register the highest individual score by a West Indian batter in women's ODIs. Her knock powered the visitors to 299 for 6.
Zimbabwe struggled to keep pace with the required rate during their chase. Modester Mupachikwa offered some resistance with a well-made 86, yet the hosts were eventually dismissed for 200. West Indies completed a 99-run victory to take an early lead in the series.
The second ODI produced a remarkable turnaround as Zimbabwe bounced back from their opening defeat.
Their bowlers set the tone, with Nyasha Gwanzura recording a career-best 4 for 33. Supported by Michelle Mavunga and Francisca Chipare, she helped reduce West Indies to 139 all out.
Mupachikwa then added to Zimbabwe's impressive showing by taking five catches, matching the world record for catches by a wicketkeeper in a single ODI innings. The hosts needed only 140 to complete the job and got there comfortably, losing six wickets with close to 10 overs still unused. The victory was Zimbabwe's first in the ICC Women's Championship and levelled the three-match series at 1-1.
