New Zealand vs Zimbabwe Women’s T20I & ODI Series: Schedule, Squads, Broadcast & Live Streaming Details

New Zealand Women and Zimbabwean Women as they meet for the first time in the bilateral series, they are about to write a new chapter. The action begins on February 25 with the opening T20I at Seddon Park in Hamilton. The tour includes three T20Is in Hamilton followed by a three-match ODI series at Dunedin University Oval from March 5, providing both teams with valuable competitive cricket.

For the White Ferns, this series marks the beginning of a new phase under new captain Amelia Kerr, who will lead the side for the first time in a home series. The squad will be missing some familiar faces. Suzie Bates is out with a quadriceps injury, Sophie Devine is unavailable for the T20Is and Leah Tahuhu is rested. Their absence opens the door for new talent, with underdogs Nancy Patel and Kayley Knight lining up to potentially make their debuts.

The stakes for Zimbabwe are equally significant. The ODI leg marks their entry into the ICC Women’s Championship cycle, a crucial pathway towards the 2029 World Cup. Led by Nomvelo Sibanda, Zimbabwe will look to experienced names like Josephine Nkomo, Kelis Ndhlovu and Modester Mupachikwa to rise to the occasion.
