      <title>Pakistan women host Zimbabwe in three-match T20I series</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330458836/pakistan-women-host-zimbabwe-in-three-match-t20i-series</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pakistan women will look to continue their dominance over Zimbabwe women when the two sides face off in a three-match T20I series commencing today (Tuesday).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The three-match T20I series will be played at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi, with the first ball scheduled to be bowled at 7.30pm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The three-match ODI series – part of the ICC Women’s Championship 2025-29 concluded on Saturday with the hosts securing a 3-0 clean sweep, according to a PCB statement.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The series win also saw Pakistan climb to second spot in the ICC Women’s Championship 2025-29 standings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pakistan’s 15-member squad for the T20I series includes two debutants – Amber Kainat and Saira Jabeen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Right-arm fast bowler Amber recently represented Invincibles in the National Women’s T20 Tournament, where she took 11 wickets in eight matches.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Saira was part of Pakistan’s squad for the away tour of South Africa held earlier this year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The forthcoming T20I series also marks the return of Iram Javed, who last represented Pakistan during the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in 2024.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The right-handed batter makes a comeback after scoring 257 runs in nine matches for Invincibles at a strike rate of 150.29 in the National Women’s T20 Tournament.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The series will provide an opportunity for players to showcase their skills ahead of the team’s upcoming international assignments, including the tri-series in Ireland and the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in England and Wales from 12 June to 5 July.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;15-member squad:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fatima Sana (captain), Amber Kainat, Aliya Riaz, Ayesha Zafar, Eyman Fatima, Gull Feroza, Iram Javed, Muneeba Ali (wicket-keeper), Nashra Sundhu, Natalia Parvaiz, Rameen Shamim, Sadia Iqbal, Saira Jabeen, Tasmia Rubab and Tuba Hassan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reserves: Diana Baig, Momina Riasat, Sadaf Shamas, Sidra Amin and Syeda Aroob Shah&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;T20I series schedule&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;May 12 – 1st T20I (7.30pm PKT)&lt;/p&gt;
