There are several international T20 cricket matches today. However, one of the most entertaining matches could be the first of three between Pakistan Women and Zimbabwe Women in this series.
This match arrives a little over a month before the Women’s ICC T20 World Cup. Of course, India took home the men’s championship earlier this year. That victory was the first time that one country won three T20 World Cups. Zimbabwe and Pakistan are two favorites to make a big push for the title on the women’s side this year.
In light of the PAKW vs ZIMW match, here is the live score, match predictions, the playing XI for both sides, as well as the schedule for the rest of the matches in this T20 cricket series.

Match Predictions: PAKW vs ZIMW
All three of the PAK W vs ZIM W matches will take place at the National Stadium in Karachi. CricTracker offers a pitch report (published before the match begins).
“The National Stadium in Karachi proved to be an excellent venue for batters to score big runs in the recently finished ODI series against the two teams,” the outlet explains. “Historically, in the men’s game, the side batting first at the venue tends to win more games. It is worth noting that the Pakistan Women’s side have not played a T20 at this venue before.”
CricTracker gave Pakistan a 90 percent chance of winning today’s match.
