Verdict

Model probability gives New Zealand Women a 62% chance versus 38% for Zimbabwe Women, indicating a notable edge. The Elo rating gap of 14.4 points and a 17.3 higher strike rate strengthen NZ-W’s advantage. Both teams are winless in their last three, but NZ-W’s losses came to a top-tier opponent while ZIM-W fell to weaker sides. With no bookmaker data, the model leans toward NZ-W as the more likely winner.
