Preview:
After playing a 2-2 draw in the unofficial ODI series, Zimbabwe Women will take on Thailand Women in the first T20I of the three-match series. It will indeed be an interesting series to watch out for as both teams were neck to neck in the 50-over leg. While the home team clinched the first and third T20I, the rest two games went in Thailand’s favour.
Meanwhile, Zimbabwe would certainly be gutted, having missed out on a series victory in the unofficial ODI series. They had the momentum after winning the third game. However, Thailand made a sensational comeback and walked away with a five-wicket triumph in the last game.
