Pakistan National Cricket Team vs Zimbabwe National Cricket Team Match: Pakistan Women won the toss and elected to bat first against Zimbabwe Women in the opening T20I of the Zimbabwe Women tour of Pakistan 2026 at the National Stadium in Karachi on Tuesday, May 12, 2026.
Pakistan Women, led by Fatima Sana, head into the three-match T20I series high on confidence after completing a dominant 3-0 clean sweep in the ODI series against Zimbabwe. The hosts outplayed the visitors in all departments during the 50-over leg and will look to continue their winning momentum in the shortest format.
Nomvelo Sibanda-led Zimbabwe Women showed glimpses of resistance in the final ODI through fighting half-centuries from Beloved Biza and Kelis Ndhlovu, but failed to prevent Pakistan from sealing the series whitewash. The visitors will now hope for a stronger showing in the T20Is.
