Preview

Zimbabwe Women (ZM-W) will lock horns against Papua New Guinea Women (PNG-W) in the third T20I of Papua New Guinea Women’s Tour of Zimbabwe 2024. The match will be played at the Harare Sports Club, Harare on Tuesday (April 2) at 10:00 PM (IST).

The three-match T20I series is currently tied at 1-1 after PNG Women won the one-over eliminator in the second match. Batting first, the home side posted 119-6 in 20 overs. Modester Mupachikwa and captain Mary-Anne Musonda played brilliant innings for ZIM-W. In reply, Pauke Siaka’s match-winning knock of 33-ball 43 helped the visitors to level the total, despite a final over drama involving two run outs. 

Zimbabwe could only score six runs in the Super Over, which PNG-W easily overcame to push the series to a decider. Notably, the hosts won the opening match by a massive margin of eight wickets. They also whitewashed the ODI series 3-0, so a win on Tuesday will be crucial for Papua New Guinea.

Pitch Report

The pitch at the Harare Sports Club assists both batters and bowlers. Fast bowling is more effective than spin on this surface. The previous two matches have shown that batting second at this venue is a wise decision.

Player Picks

8
C

Pauke Siaka PNG-W | BAT

Pauke Siaka is the main reason we have a series decider. She played a match-winning knock (43 off 33 balls) to push the game into a Super Over, in which PNG won.

9
C

Mary-Anne Musonda ZIM-W | BAT

The Zimbabwe captain is also in charge of their batting unit. She scored a half-century in the first match and 37 runs in the second to take the team to a respectable score.

8.5

Modester Mupachikwa ZIM-W | WK

Mupachikwa is one of the most consistent batters in the Zimbabwe line-up. The wicketkeeper batter scored 45 runs in both matches and will be aiming to contribute well in the upcoming match as well.

8.5

Sibona Jimmy PNG-W | BAT

Sibona Jimmy was impressive in the first two matches, picking up three wickets. She grabbed two wickets in the second T20I at an economy rate of 5.2. PNG will rely heavily on the off-spinner in the series decider.

9.5

Josephine Nkomo ZIM-W | ALL

Nkomo, the backbone of Zimbabwe's bowling unit, took three wickets in the series opener. Although she did not take any wickets in the second match, her economy rate of 5.5 was impressive.

8

Vicky Araa PNG-W | BAT

Vicky Araa has taken two wickets in the series so far, giving away an economy of less than five off her seven overs. The off-spinner is likely to continue her fine form in the upcoming match as well.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

8

Geua Tom

PNG-W | BAT

Geua Tom took a wicket in the first match but it came at the cost of an economy of 9.7. In the second match, she got to bowl just one over as it went for 16 runs without any wickets. Considering her poor form, picking her in your fantasy team isn't a wise decision.

8

Kellies Ndlovu

ZIM-W | ALL

The Zimbabwean opener struggled to find runs in both matches. Her contribution was just four runs in the first match and 13 runs in the second. Not sure if she will perform well in the upcoming competition.
