TEAMS PREVIEW
Zimbabwe Women Preview
Zimbabwe Women will look to put their recent ODI struggles behind them when they take on West Indies Women in the opening game of the series. In their last ODI, they suffered a nine-wicket defeat against Pakistan Women after posting 222/9, with Pakistan chasing down the target in 31.5 overs.
Kelis Ndhlovu has scored 287 runs in the last nine matches at an average of 35.88 and will be an important batter for Zimbabwe. Beloved Biza has also contributed 205 runs in in her previous six matches at an average of 34.17, giving the hosts another reliable option in the batting department.
With the ball, Tendai Makusha has taken five wickets in her last six matches at an economy rate of 4.54, while Nyasha Gwanzura has picked up three wickets in three games at an economy rate of 4.55. Zimbabwe will need their bowling unit to make an early impact against a strong West Indies batting line-up.
Playing at home gives Zimbabwe an opportunity to respond to their recent results and start the series on a positive note. They have a mix of experienced campaigners and younger players, and a disciplined all-round performance will be important if they are to challenge West Indies.

West Indies Women Preview
West Indies Women will enter the series with confidence after finishing their previous ODI assignment on a winning note. In their last match against Ireland Women, they posted 257 runs and then bowled Ireland out for 193 in 43.1 overs to secure a 64-run victory and complete a 3-0 series sweep.
Hayley Matthews has been in excellent touch, scoring 500 runs in her last 10 ODIs at an average of 55.56. Stafanie Taylor has also contributed 466 runs in the previous 10 matches at an impressive average of 77.67, giving West Indies plenty of experience in their batting line-up.
With the ball, Afy Fletcher has claimed 19 wickets in her last 10 ODIs at an economy rate of 5.16, while Matthews has taken 18 wickets during the same period at 4.30. Karishma Ramharack adds another experienced bowling option, having taken 56 wickets in 50 ODI innings across her career.

Average Turn
Harare Sports Club has generally provided a balanced ODI surface, with the first innings averaging 230 runs and the second innings producing an average of 197. Teams batting second have won 109 of the 211 ODIs at the venue, compared to 96 victories for sides setting the target. The numbers suggest that a score around 240-250 runs should give the team batting first a competitive total, although the chasing side will have a reasonable opportunity if it keeps wickets in hand.
Score Prediction
If Zimbabwe Women bat first: 225–235 runs
If West Indies Women bat first: 235–245 runs
Toss: To Bowl
The venue record slightly favours teams chasing, with 109 wins for sides bowling first compared to 96 for teams batting first. The lower second-innings average also suggests that chasing a target is not always straightforward, but the overall win record still gives the captain a reason to prefer fielding first. The toss winner may therefore look to bowl first.
Toss Prediction: West Indies Women to win the toss.
ZIM-W vs WIW
Winning Prediction
Zimbabwe Women will be looking to turn around a difficult run of results after losing their last five matches, while West Indies Women arrive with three wins in their previous five games. The visitors also come into the series after completing a 3-0 ODI sweep against Ireland Women, giving them some confidence heading into the opening contest.
Zimbabwe will have the benefit of playing at home and have already spent time in these conditions, which could help them compete for longer periods. However, West Indies have shown greater consistency recently and also have a strong combination of batting and bowling options. Their recent results provide them with momentum going into the first ODI.
