West Indies Women Tour of Zimbabwe 2026 Complete Schedule & Results

The West Indies Women will tour Zimbabwe in September and October 2026 for a six-match white-ball series featuring three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) and three T20 Internationals (T20Is). The tour began on September 24, with all three ODIs scheduled at Harare Sports Club before the teams move to Takashinga Sports Club for the T20I leg.

The ODI series is part of the ICC Women’s Championship 2025–29, giving both teams an opportunity to collect valuable points in the ongoing qualification cycle. The T20I series will provide another opportunity for both sides to test their squads in the shortest format.

The first ODI has already been completed, with West Indies Women defeating Zimbabwe Women by 99 runs after posting 299/6 and bowling Zimbabwe out for 200. The remaining two ODIs will be played on September 27 and 30, followed by three T20Is between October 3 and 7.

West Indies Women Tour of Zimbabwe 2026 Schedule & Results

Understanding the ZIM-W vs WI-W Tournament 2026 Format

The tour consists of six international matches split evenly between the 50-over and 20-over formats.

The three-match ODI series runs from September 24 to September 30. These matches form part of the ICC Women’s Championship, making the results particularly relevant to the teams' positions in the 2025–29 cycle.

The T20I series follows immediately, with matches on October 3, 5 and 7. Unlike the ODIs, these matches are not part of the Women's Championship and instead provide competitive international preparation in the T20 format.

With the entire tour taking place in Harare, teams will not have to deal with long-distance travel between matches. However, the change from Harare Sports Club to Takashinga Sports Club means the T20I leg will take place at a different venue.

Key Elements of the Zimbabwe Women vs South Africa Women 2026 Fixtures

The tour brings together two teams at different stages of their international development.

West Indies Women enter the series with considerable experience in their squad. Hayley Matthews is the ODI captain, while players including Stafanie Taylor, Afy Fletcher, Shemaine Campbelle, Aaliyah Alleyne and Zaida James provide experience across the squad. Cricket West Indies named a 15-player touring squad for the ODI series, with Matthews departing before the T20I leg and the squad reducing to 14 players.

Eboni Brathwaite was added to the squad in place of Deandra Dottin, who was granted personal leave, while Chinelle Henry returned after recovering from the injury that affected her participation at the T20 World Cup.

Zimbabwe Women are led by Josephine Nkomo. Their 16-player squad includes experienced players such as Nomvelo Sibanda, Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano, Modester Mupachikwa and Sharne Mayers. Kudzai Chigora has been selected for the ODI leg only, while Francisca Chipare is included specifically for the T20I series.

Match Timings

The ODIs are scheduled to begin at 7:30 AM UTC, which is 1:00 PM Indian Standard Time (IST).

The T20I timings vary slightly during the series. The first T20I begins at 11:00 AM UTC, while the second and third T20Is begin at 10:00 AM UTC. This corresponds to 4:30 PM IST for the first T20I and 3:30 PM IST for the second and third T20Is. The official West Indies fixture listings confirm the UTC start times.

The six-match series is concentrated in Harare, with two venues being used.

Harare Sports Club will host all three ODIs. The first ODI was played at the venue on September 24, while the second and third ODIs are scheduled for September 27 and September 30.

The three T20Is will then move to Takashinga Sports Club in Highfield, Harare. The venue will host the first T20I on October 3, followed by matches on October 5 and October 7.

Zimbabwe Women vs South Africa Women Scheduling

The scheduling gives the teams only a short turnaround between matches.

The ODI leg takes place over a six-day period, with matches on September 24, September 27 and September 30. After the final ODI, there are two days before the T20I series begins on October 3.

The T20I fixtures then follow every two days, with the second match on October 5 and the final game on October 7.

The series also represents a significant milestone because it is the first bilateral series between West Indies Women and Zimbabwe Women across formats.
