Zimbabwe Women Preview

Zimbabwe`s top-3 of Kellies Ndlovu (25 runs), Sharne Mayers (33 runs), and Chipo Mugeri (20* runs) kept the scoreboard ticking and helped their chase the paltry total easily. Their batting has been hugely untested in the tournament and they might need to step up in this game.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Abu Dhabi will have bright and sunny weather on the match day with weather interruptions. We expect dew to have an impact in the second innings of the match.

Venue Details

Abu Dhabi has a slow track with the ball not coming onto the bat nicely. Batters can take advantage if they apply themselves on this wicket early on. We expect scores around 130-140 runs in this match.

Toss: To Bowl

Captains have opted to bowl first in the first 2 matches played so far and we expect the trend to continue in this match too. Last match both teams won chasing the total at this same venue.
