Team Previews
United States of America Women Preview
USA Women are coming into this T20I series on a high note. Fresh from their undefeated campaign at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Americas Region Qualifier 2024/25, they’ve built a core group of match-winners who are both confident and composed under pressure.
The top-order features the talented duo of Disha Dhingra and Chetna Pagydyala, who were among the top scorers in their last series. Their early partnerships will be crucial in setting the tone for USA’s innings. In the middle order, Isani Vaghela and Aditiba Chudasama bring stability and the ability to shift gears when needed.
Bowling is a real strength for USAW. Chetnaa Prasad and Ritu Priya Singh form a potent pair, picking up 17 wickets combined in the qualifier. Add to that the all-round threat of Chudasama, and this USA Women’s side has multiple match-winners.
A few fresh faces like Mitali Patwardhan and Pooja Ganesh (replacing Anika Kolan) will be looking to make an impact in this home series, providing depth and promise for the future.
Zimbabwe Women Preview
Zimbabwe Women had a mixed bag of performances in the recent Namibia Women’s T20I Tri-Series, securing just one win out of six matches. Despite the losses, individual performances stood out, especially from their top-order.
Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano was the standout batter, scoring 146 runs across the series. Modester Mupachikwa and Beloved Biza also chipped in with handy contributions, offering experience and aggression at the top.
In the middle order, Runyararo Pasipanodya and Chiedza Dhururu will play a critical role in stabilizing innings or providing finishing firepower depending on the situation. Zimbabwe’s batting has the ability, but consistency remains a concern.
On the bowling front, Kelis Ndhlovu offers a serious threat with her left-arm spin, especially on slower pitches. Josephine Nkomo, the skipper, has been in good wicket-taking form with 11 wickets in her last nine games. Her leadership and ability to impact with both bat and ball will be vital if Zimbabwe Women want to draw first blood in the series.
