Match Prediction
New Zealand Women will host Zimbabwe Women in a white-ball series that marks the first time the two sides meet in a women's international series. The three ODIs will count towards the ICC Women's Championship. New Zealand have included uncapped players Nensi Patel and Kayley Knight in their squad. Suzie Bates and Eden Carson were not considered due to quadricep and elbow injuries respectively. Lea Tahuhu was not selected for the T20Is because of physical preparation planning ahead of the Women's T20 World Cup in June. Sophie Devine was unavailable for this series. For Zimbabwe, former New Zealand allrounder Kate Ebrahim has been appointed interim head coach for the tour. Ebrahim will be assisted by Travor Phiri and bowling consultant Debu Banik. The series will also be Zimbabwe’s first appearance in the ICC Women's Championship.
