TEAMS PREVIEW
United States Of America Women Preview
USA Women come into the series riding a five-match winning streak in T20Is, including their title win at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Americas Region Qualifier 2024/25.
Their T20I squad has a solid mix of veterans and fresh faces. With Anika Kolan ruled out due to injury, Pooja Ganesh steps in as the new wicketkeeper. Mitali Patwardhan has also been added to the squad and is set to make her senior debut.
At the top, Disha Dhingra and Chetna Pagydyala are expected to handle the scoring duties. They led the run charts for the team during the Americas Region Qualifier and will be central again.
The middle order is in good hands with Aditiba Chudasama and Isani Vaghela, both known for their steady presence.
Chetnaa Prasad and Ritu Singh take charge with the ball. They picked up 17 wickets combined during the Americas Region Qualifier and know how to work these conditions. Aditiba Chudasama is another optionβtheyβll count on her all-round ability, especially after she topped USAβs wicket tally in that series.
Zimbabwe Women Preview
Zimbabwe Women come into this series on the back foot. They managed just one win out of six in the recent Namibia Womenβs T20I Tri-Series and need to shift gears fast if they want to compete with a confident USA side on home turf.
Their batting needs to come through. Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano, Beloved Biza, and Modester Mupachikwa all crossed the 100-run mark in that Namibia series. Tiripano led the way with 146 runs across six games at a strike rate of 118.
The middle order will depend on Runyararo Pasipanodya and Chiedza Dhururu to keep things movingβwhether thatβs rebuilding after early losses or pushing the scoring rate.
With the ball, Zimbabwe will be looking to Biza and Kelis Ndhlovu to deliver. Ndhlovuβs left-arm spin could be especially effective on these slower pitches. Josephine Nkomo is another to watchβsheβs picked up 11 wickets in her last nine outings and could be a game-changer again.
Weather Conditions
Grand Prairie Stadium presents a two-paced surface with noticeable grip for spinners in the morning hours. The outfield runs slower than usual due to overnight dew. Expect the ball to hold on the pitch during the first innings. Boundary dimensions favor the northern side at 62 meters, while the square boundaries stretch to 70 meters.
Dallas has seen a lot of rain over the last couple of days, and the forecast says thereβs an 80% chance of rain and thunderstorms on the match day. This means we might not get a full game.
USA-W vs ZIM-W Pitch Report

Toss: To Bowl
This will be the first womenβs T20I game played at Grand Prairie Stadium. In the seven menβs games played at the venue, five have been won by the chasing side. This record suggests that both captains might prefer fielding first here.
