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).
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.
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.
The series win also saw Pakistan climb to second spot in the ICC Women’s Championship 2025-29 standings.
Pakistan’s 15-member squad for the T20I series includes two debutants – Amber Kainat and Saira Jabeen.
Right-arm fast bowler Amber recently represented Invincibles in the National Women’s T20 Tournament, where she took 11 wickets in eight matches.
Saira was part of Pakistan’s squad for the away tour of South Africa held earlier this year.
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.
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.
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.
