The story
The international women's cricket calendar shifts focus to Harare today as the West Indies Women commence their three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe Women at Takashinga Sports Club. This T20I contest follows a hard-fought One Day International series, which concluded on September 30, where the West Indies secured a 2-1 victory over the hosts.
In the decisive third WODI, West Indies captain Hayley Matthews led from the front with a brilliant 118 runs off 113 deliveries, complemented by wicketkeeper Shemaine Campbell's 96 runs, as they posted 271 for 5. Zimbabwe, chasing 272, were bowled out for 180, with captain Josephine Nkomo scoring an unbeaten 74.
Ashmini Munisar, Jannillea Glasgow, and Aaliyah Alleyne each claimed two wickets for the West Indies. The shift to the Twenty20 format promises fast-paced action and a different challenge for both squads, with the home side looking to bounce back from their ODI defeat.
