West Indies Women Tour of Zimbabwe Match Prediction and Tips

The West Indies Women will travel to Zimbabwe for a six-match white-ball series consisting of three ODIs and three T20Is between September 24 and October 7, 2026. The ODI series will form part of the ICC Women's Championship 2025-29, while the three T20Is will complete the tour.

The three ODIs will be played at Harare Sports Club on September 24, 27 and 30. The teams will then move to Takashinga Cricket Club for the T20I matches on October 3, 5 and 7. This will be the first bilateral series between West Indies Women and Zimbabwe Women across either format.

Our West Indies Women Tour of Zimbabwe match predictions will cover all six games, with the latest team news, playing XIs, pitch conditions and betting markets considered before every match.

Today Match Prediction ZIM-W vs WI-W

West Indies head into the tour with plenty of confidence after completing a 3-0 ODI series sweep against Ireland earlier in the year. That series was particularly impressive for Hayley Matthews, who finished with 265 runs and seven wickets and was named Player of the Series. Stafanie Taylor also produced a century in the final ODI.

Zimbabwe, meanwhile, will be looking to make the most of home conditions. The hosts have endured a difficult ICC Women's Championship campaign so far, losing all six of their matches in the current cycle.

They have nevertheless had a busy international schedule, including Women's Championship tours of New Zealand and Pakistan and a five-match T20I series against South Africa immediately before this assignment.

The first ODI between Zimbabwe Women and West Indies Women is scheduled for September 24 at Harare Sports Club.

West Indies will enter the series having recently completed a 3-0 ODI sweep against Ireland, while Zimbabwe will be looking to turn home advantage into a competitive performance against a more experienced international side.

About ZIM-W vs WI-W 2026

The West Indies Women Tour of Zimbabwe 2026 is a six-match white-ball assignment comprising three ODIs and three T20Is.

The ODI series is particularly important because it forms part of the ICC Women's Championship 2025-29. Zimbabwe are currently 10th in the Championship standings after losing all six of their matches, while West Indies sit fifth after collecting four wins from nine matches.

The West Indies arrive in Zimbabwe after a highly successful ODI series in Ireland. They won all three matches, with Hayley Matthews producing 265 runs and seven wickets across the series and Stafanie Taylor scoring a century in the third ODI.

Zimbabwe have had an extremely busy 2026 schedule. Their Women's Championship campaign has included tours of New Zealand and Pakistan, while they have also played a five-match T20I series against South Africa at home immediately before the West Indies arrive.

The series will be historic for another reason: it represents the first bilateral meeting between Zimbabwe Women and West Indies Women across formats.

2026 ZIM-W vs WI-W Star Players

Zimbabwe Women – Key Players

Josephine Nkomo

Josephine Nkomo will captain Zimbabwe across both formats.

Nkomo returned to the Zimbabwe side for the recent South Africa series after missing the tour of Pakistan because of injury. She was subsequently retained as captain for the West Indies assignment.

Her all-round ability will be important for a Zimbabwe side looking to compete against a more experienced opponent.

Modester Mupachikwa

Modester Mupachikwa is one of Zimbabwe's experienced wicketkeeper-batters.

She is part of the established core retained by Zimbabwe selectors and will be an important player in the hosts' batting lineup.

Sharne Mayers

Sharne Mayers returned to the Zimbabwe setup during the recent South Africa series after a lengthy absence from the national T20I side.

She has significant international experience and is one of the more experienced batters available to Josephine Nkomo.

West Indies Women – Key Players

Hayley Matthews

Hayley Matthews will captain West Indies during the ODI portion of the tour and is likely to be one of the most important players in the series.

The all-rounder was outstanding during the West Indies' 3-0 ODI sweep in Ireland, scoring 265 runs and taking seven wickets. She was named Player of the Series and remains capable of influencing matches in both disciplines.

Matthews' availability is an important consideration for bettors because she will leave the tour before the T20I series after being granted personal leave.

Stafanie Taylor

Stafanie Taylor remains one of the most experienced players in the West Indies setup.

Taylor has been a central figure in West Indies women's cricket for many years and showed that she remains capable of producing match-winning performances during the Ireland series, where she scored a century in the third ODI.

Her experience will be particularly valuable for a West Indies squad that Shane Deitz describes as relatively young.

Afy Fletcher

Afy Fletcher is an experienced leg-spinner who gives West Indies an important wicket-taking option in the middle overs.

She had an excellent ODI series against Ireland, finishing with eight wickets and moving up the ICC ODI bowling rankings following the series.

Zimbabwe's batters will need to deal with her ability to create pressure through the middle portion of an innings.
