TEAMS PREVIEW

Zimbabwe Women Preview

Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano will be upset with her team's performance in the last game. They bowled well to restrict the UAE to a small total but made a mess of the run chase. Mugeri-Tiripano would like to see her batters take more responsibility in this game and level the series. Their opponents have tasted first blood and shall look to do well in this game.  

Modester Mupachikwa didn't score in the last game, and she must deliver a good start in this game alongside Kelis Ndhlovu. The middle order struggled with the scoring rate, and the team needs partnerships between Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano, Chiedza Dhururu, and Loryn Phiri. Nyasha Gwanzura and Loreen Tshuma must add quick runs in the lower middle order.  

The bowling attack did a good job in the last game, and the team expects a strong start with the new ball from Nomvelo Sibanda and Adel Zimunu. Tendai Makusha will be confident after her good show in the last game and must do well in the middle overs alongside Kudzai Chigora. Nyasha Gwanzura, Loreen Tshuma, and Loryn Phiri add variety to this attack.

Zimbabwe Women Predicted Playing XI:

Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano (c), Modester Mupachikwa (wk), Kelis Ndhlovu, Nyasha Gwanzura, Loreen Tshuma, Loryn Phiri, Adel Zimunu, Chiedza Dhururu, Tendai Makusha, Nomvelo Sibanda, Kudzai Chigora

United Arab Emirates Women Preview

It was a dream debut in ODI cricket for Esha Rohit Oza's team. While the side struggled with the bat as far as scoring rate is concerned, they were brilliant with the ball. Oza would like a better showing from her batters in this game, as the Zimbabwe Women will come hard at them.  

Lavanya Keny played well in the last game, and she will look to deliver a good start with skipper Esha Rohit Oza. The middle order must improve its performance. Heena Hotchandani must build partnerships with Samaira Dharnidharka and Theertha Satish. Rinitha Rajith and Michelle Botha set up a match-winning stand in the last game, and they will look to do well in the lower middle order.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Bulawayo will be clear. The wicket has been a belter, and the ball has come onto the bat nicely. Spinners have troubled the batsmen using the slowness of the surface. The side that bats first in this game would need more than 275 runs to feel safe on this wicket.

ZIM-W vs UAE-W Pitch Report

Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo, is a happy hunting ground for the batters. They can play their strokes freely. There is some assistance for the fast bowlers on this track. Spinners have performed well on this surface, as they can turn the ball sharply, and it occasionally stops on the batter. 

Toss: To Bat

The wicket turned slow in the second half of the last game. Chasing a score on this wicket will be challenging. Both captains will take a cue from the last game's result and opt to bat first on winning the toss.
