Zimbabwe Women Preview
Zimbabwe Women will be disappointed after their poor batting display in the opening game. Skipper Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano knows her team had the match in hand after restricting UAE to a modest score but failed to capitalize with the bat. Going into the 2nd T20, they need more responsibility from their batting lineup.
Modester Mupachikwa is key at the top, and she will aim to deliver a solid start alongside youngster Kelis Ndhlovu. The middle order must step up—players like Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano, Chiedza Dhururu, and Loryn Phiri have to stitch partnerships to avoid collapses. The finishing touches from Nyasha Gwanzura and Loreen Tshuma will also be crucial.
Their bowlers impressed in the last match. Nomvelo Sibanda and Adel Zimunu did well with the new ball, while Tendai Makusha and Kudzai Chigora showed good control in the middle overs. Zimbabwe’s bowling remains their biggest strength, and they must use the home conditions to put pressure on UAE’s inexperienced batting lineup.
Zimbabwe Women Predicted Playing XI:
Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano (c), Modester Mupachikwa (wk), Kelis Ndhlovu, Nyasha Gwanzura, Loreen Tshuma, Loryn Phiri, Adel Zimunu, Chiedza Dhururu, Tendai Makusha, Nomvelo Sibanda, Kudzai Chigora
United Arab Emirates Women Preview
United Arab Emirates Women stunned the hosts in the first T20, defending their score successfully. While the batting unit still needs improvement, their bowlers stole the show. Captain Esha Rohit Oza will want her batters to show more intent in this match.
Lavanya Keny played responsibly at the top and will again aim to support Oza. The middle order of Heena Hotchandani, Samaira Dharnidharka, and Theertha Satish has potential but must convert starts. The duo of Rinitha Rajith and Michelle Botha played a key role in stabilizing the innings in the last game, and their lower-order runs will be important again.
Bowling is UAE Women’s strongest suit. Samaira Dharnidharka and Athige Silva ripped through Zimbabwe’s batting in the first game, sharing six wickets. With Udeni Dona, Katie Thompson, and Vaishnave Mahesh providing support, UAE’s bowling looks competitive. If their batters contribute more, they could challenge Zimbabwe again.
United Arab Emirates Women Predicted Playing XI:
Esha Rohit Oza (c), Lavanya Keny, Heena Hotchandani, Samaira Dharnidharka, Theertha Satish (wk), Rinitha Rajith, Michelle Botha, Udeni Dona, Vaishnave Mahesh, Katie Thompson, Athige Silva
