Zimbabwe Women Zimbabwe Women have now won only one match and lost five of their last six ODIs; their form might be concerning. Despite a solid bowling effort from Loreen Tshuma and Tendai Makusha, the hosts were able to restrict the UAE women to just 222 runs in their first match, but could were bowled out for just 186 runs in the second innings. A 63-run stand between Kelis Ndhlovu and the skipper gave Zimbabwe-W some stability, but that was not enough; they kept losing their wickets consistently and lost the match by 32 runs. UAE Women The UAE women would be happy after defeating Zimbabwe Women for the first time in the 50-over format. This comes just a few months after they successfully achieved their ODI status. A monumental victory that has set up the tone for their upcoming ODI journey definitely marks a new height for them, especially winning their first-ever ODI match against a full-nation member. The UAE-W did lose their way a little bit during the middle overs, but an unbeaten 122-run stand between Rinitha Rajith and Michelle Botha roared them back to life and pushed the score to 222 and then bowled out the hosts for just 186 runs. Samaira Dharnidharka, Athige Silva, and Easha Oza took three wickets each in their spell.
