Stafanie Taylor to be West Indies Women top run-scorer
Stafanie Taylor is the most experienced batter in the West Indies squad and has been priced ahead of Chinelle Henry and Shemaine Campbelle in the top West Indies run-scorer market. Taylor was part of the winning XI in the first T20I and remains an important player in the middle order.

Team form (Last 5 matches)
Zimbabwe Women
West Indies Women
West Indies Women are overwhelming favourites to win the second T20I after an eight-wicket victory in the series opener. Zimbabwe were restricted to 97/9 before West Indies chased the target in only 12.5 overs, taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
The visitors also have significantly greater depth and experience across their batting and bowling departments. The main question is whether Zimbabwe can improve dramatically with the bat after failing to reach 100 in the first match.
Head-to-Head Record
The two teams have very limited T20I history. The opening match of this series was their first meeting in the format, with West Indies Women winning by eight wickets.
West Indies therefore lead the current T20I head-to-head 1-0. They also arrive having won the ODI series 2-1, although Zimbabwe did manage a four-wicket victory in the second ODI.
Zimbabwe Women Preview
Zimbabwe have plenty to improve after their disappointing batting performance in the first T20I. They scored only 97/9, with Beloved Biza's 21 and Modester Mupachikwa's 20 the only scores above 20. Kelis Ndhlovu made 11, while several of Zimbabwe's key batters were dismissed cheaply.
Olinder Chare was the only Zimbabwe bowler to take a wicket in the first innings, while Beloved Biza also picked up a wicket. Zimbabwe will need considerably more from their top order if they are to challenge the visitors.
Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano and Modester Mupachikwa are particularly important at the top of the order, while Nomvelo Sibanda and Olinder Chare will be expected to provide the main bowling threat.

West Indies Women Preview
West Indies Women were clinical in the opening T20I. Jahzara Claxton and Eboni Brathwaite put together a 38-run opening partnership before Realeanna Grimmond struck 34 from 25 balls to take the game away from Zimbabwe.
Hayley Matthews is not part of the T20I leg after taking personal leave, while Deandra Dottin is also unavailable for the tour. That leaves Stafanie Taylor, Chinelle Henry and Shemaine Campbelle as some of the senior players carrying greater responsibility.
Karishma Ramharack was particularly effective in the first game, taking 3/22, while the West Indies spin resources should again be difficult for Zimbabwe to attack on a surface that can slow down as the innings progresses.

Toss Prediction
Teams batting first have won eight of the 11 women's T20Is played at Takashinga Sports Club, according to the available venue statistics. The average first-innings score is around 121, making scoreboard pressure particularly relevant at this ground.
West Indies chose to bowl after winning the toss in the first T20I and still won comfortably, so either approach can work. However, given the venue trend, batting first could be the preferred option for the toss winner.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
Takashinga Sports Club offers a reasonably balanced contest, although the surface can become slower as the game progresses. The available venue data puts the women's T20I first-innings average at around 121, while the second-innings average is significantly lower.
The forecast points to comfortable conditions around 22 degrees Celsius with scattered clouds, moderate breeze, and 60% humidity. The wind should stay manageable, and cloud breaks are likely through the afternoon.
Our Prediction
West Indies Women have every reason to be confident heading into the second T20I. They won the opener by eight wickets, bowled Zimbabwe out of the contest without ever allowing the hosts to build a meaningful partnership and then completed the chase comfortably.
The gap between the teams was substantial in the opening game, and West Indies have the more experienced batting and bowling unit.
