Yeh debut February-March 2026 mein New Zealand ke tour se hoga, jahan woh apna pehla Women’s ODI World Cup qualification ka sapna pura karne ki koshish karengi. Par yeh safar asaan kahan hai? New Zealand jaise strong team ke saamne, Zimbabwe ki team ko apne dum pe bharosa rakhna hoga, aur yeh pitch ka drama unke liye ek naya imtehaan hai.
Zimbabwe ka yeh tour Dunedin mein teen ODIs (March 5, 8, aur 11) se shuru hoga, jo unka ICC Women’s Championship mein pehla kadam hoga. Isse pehle, Hamilton mein teen T20Is (February 25, 27, aur March 1) khele jayenge, jo unhe New Zealand ke conditions mein dhalne ka mauka denge. Yeh yaad dilata hai 2000 ke uss match ka jab Zimbabwe men’s team ne New Zealand ke khilaaf ek memorable jeet haasil ki thi, jab Andy Flower ne 142 run banaye the. Aaj women’s team ke paas bhi aisa hi kuch kar dikhane ka mauka hai.
Key Players ke Stats (Zimbabwe Women, Recent Performances)
| Player | Matches | Runs/Wickets | Highlight |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sharne Mayers | 10 | 250 runs | Consistent top-order batter |
| Josephine Nkomo | 12 | 8 wickets | Reliable all-rounder |
| Precious Marange | 15 | 10 wickets | Experienced left-arm spinner |
Zimbabwe ki team ne ab tak sirf chhe teams—Bangladesh, Ireland, aur Pakistan jaise Full Members—ke khilaaf ODIs khele hain. New Zealand ke khilaaf yeh unka pehla ODI hoga, aur yeh mauka unke liye ek naya chapter shuru karega. Is Championship cycle mein, Zimbabwe ghar par South Africa, West Indies, Sri Lanka, aur Ireland ke khilaaf teen-teen match ki series khelegi, aur abroad mein India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, aur New Zealand ka saamna karegi. Yeh schedule unhe bade teams ke saath compete karne ka mauka dega, jaise 2021 mein jab unke men’s team ne Pakistan ko T20I mein haraya tha, ek chhoti si team ka bada dikhawa.
Zimbabwe Cricket ke MD Givemore Makoni ne kaha, “Yeh humare liye gaurav ka pal hai. Women’s cricket mein humari investment aur vision ka yeh saboot hai.” Yeh tour na sirf unke players ke liye ek platform hai, balki Zimbabwe mein nayi ladkiyon ko cricket apnane ke liye inspire karega. Jaise West Indies ki Deandra Dottin ne apne explosive batting se duniya ko hairaan kiya, Zimbabwe ki nayi peedhi bhi aisa hi kuch kar sakti hai.
