Zimbabwe Women in Pakistan 2026/27

The Zimbabwe Women in Pakistan event was a historic bilateral cricket series played in May 2026. Unlike standing tournaments, this fixture had no permanent founding year or pyramid status. It was organized temporarily by the Pakistan Cricket Board and Zimbabwe Cricket. The tour marked the first completed bilateral series between the two nations after years of cancelled plans. Previous meetings were limited to a single match in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier in 2021. The schedule ran from April 29 to May 15, 2026, at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi. The contest featured a white-ball series comprising three One Day Internationals and three Twenty20 Internationals. The matches carried weight as they counted towards the ICC Women's Championship 2025-2029. This context elevated the significance of the games beyond a standard friendly arrangement. Pakistan Women dominated the encounter, winning both series 3-0. In the One Day Internationals, victories were secured by margins of 168 runs, 206 runs, and nine wickets. The 206-run win represented the largest margin of victory by runs in Women's ODI history. During that second match, Pakistan posted 343 for four, their highest-ever ODI score. Gull Feroza achieved the fastest ODI century by a Pakistan batter. The Twenty20 Internationals followed a similar pattern of dominance. Pakistan won the first match by 153 runs, the second by 67 runs, and the third by 133 runs. In the final game, Pakistan scored 223 for four. Fatima Sana Khan contributed 62 runs off 19 balls. This series demonstrated a clear shift in the regional dynamic for women's cricket, proving that security concerns previously deemed the destination high-risk were no longer barriers to international play.
