Zimbabwe Women vs UAE Women Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Nyasha Gwanzura was the joint-leading wicket-taker for Zimbabwe Women in the previous tournament they played. She picked up 10 wickets in five matches at an impeccable average of 8 and a strike rate of 11.4. Her economy rate after sending down 19 overs was just 4.21. Hence, Nyasha is once again expected to step up with the ball and pick up at least two wickets in this game.

Katie Thompson was the leading wicket-taker for UAE Women in the T20 World Cup Asia Region Qualifier. She picked up seven wickets in four matches at an average of 7.57 and an economy of 4.41 after sending down 12 overs. Thompson is a very good bowler and can turn things around with her bowling. Hence, she is expected to be pick up at least three wickets in this encounter.

Zimbabwe Women vs UAE Women Match Toss Prediction

The Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo is used to hosting T20Is as well. 25 T20Is have been played at the venue so far and it is a bat first venue. 155 is the average first innings score and with the ODI series also taking place here, the surface will certainly be on the slower side. A score around 140-150 could be par in the series opener and the team winning the toss is expected to bat first.

Weather Report

It is an early morning start in Bulawayo in the first T20I and the weather is absolutely clear for the game to take place. The sun will be shining bright on Sunday and there is no chance of rain whatsoever during the match. The fans will get to witness the action for entire 40 overs. The temperature is likely to hover in the range of 30-32 Degrees Celsius during the match.

Zimbabwe Women vs UAE Women Top Batters

Kelis Ndhlovu to be Zimbabwe-W’s top batter

Kelis Ndhlovu is undoubtedly the best batter for Zimbabwe in the shortest format of the game. In the Qualifier tournament, she smashed 194 runs in five innings as an opener at an average of 97 and a strike rate of 106.01. Ndhlovu displayed good form in the preceding ODI series as well and can be expected to become the top batter for Zimbabwe Women in the first T20I.

Esha Oza to be UAE-W's top batter

Esha Oza will be high on confidence after playing a match-winning knock in the final ODI for UAE. The captain of the team was the player of the series as well and is in great form at the moment. Even in the Asia Region Qualifier, she was the leading run-scorer for UAE, scoring 175 runs in four matches at an average of 43.75 and a brilliant strike rate of 153.5. Hence, Oza can be expected to become the top batter for UAE Women in this game.

Zimbabwe Women vs UAE Women Top Bowlers

Josephine Nkomo to be Zimbabwe-W’s top bowler

Josephine Nkomo was the best bowler for Zimbabwe Women in the qualifier tournament. She picked up 10 wickets in five matches at an impeccable average of 6.9 and a strike rate of 9.6 with a five-wicket haul to her name. Nkomo’s economy of 4.31 was among the best in the tournament too. Hence, she can be backed to be the top bowler for Zimbabwe Women in this game.

Esha Oza to be UAE-W's top bowler

Not only with the bat, Esha Oza leads from the front with the ball as well for UAE Women. She picked up four wickets in three innings in the Asia Region Qualifier at an average of 8 and an economy of 5.81. Moreover, in the recent ODI series as well, she bowled superbly to pick up 10 wickets in four matches. Hence, Esha Oza can be expected to be the top bowler for UAE Women.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Zimbabwe-W

Zimbabwe recently played T20Is and won a huge tournament that helped them qualify for the World Cup. They are certainly a stronger side and the favourites in this game. But the UAE won’t go down without putting up a fight that was also visible in the ODI series that ended in 2-2 draw. Having said that, Zimbabwe are expected to just edge the visitors in the T20I series opener.
