Pakistan captain <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pcb-announced-pak-women-t20i-squad-fatima-sana-to-lead-vs-zimbabwe/5699-5-0">Fatima Sana</a> made history on Friday by scoring the fastest half-century in Women&rsquo;s T20I cricket. She reached the milestone in the third T20I match against Zimbabwe, in which the green shirts registered a big victory by 133 runs.

Coming in to bat at No. 6 with Pakistan at 152/4, Fatima went after the Zimbabwe bowlers from the start. She hit eight fours and two sixes and brought up her fifty in just 15 balls.

As a result, the Pakistan skipper now holds the record for the quickest fifty in Women&rsquo;s T20Is, overtaking Sophie Devine, Phoebe Litchfield, and Richa Ghosh, who were all previously tied at the top with 18-ball half-centuries.

Pakistan Women completed a historic whitewash over Zimbabwe Women by defeating them comprehensively in the third T20I at Karachi. The skipper <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pcb-announced-pak-women-t20i-squad-fatima-sana-to-lead-vs-zimbabwe/5699-5-0">Fatima Sana</a> remained the star performer of the match, as she scored a rapid 62 in the first innings to give Pakistan a big total on the board.

Chasing a tough target of 224 runs, the visitors were bowled out for just 90 in 17.1 overs and suffered a series whitewash after losing all three matches. Zimbabwe faced similar defeats in the opening two games as well.

Left-handed opener Kelis Ndhlovu was the only batter who fought back for Zimbabwe, scoring 32 runs from 13 balls with the help of six fours and a six.

Other Zimbabwe batters struggled badly against Pakistan&rsquo;s tight bowling display. Adel Zimunu scored 18 runs, while Michelle Mavunga added 13, making them the only other players to cross double figures. Sadia was the standout bowler for the home side, taking three wickets while conceding just 20 runs in her three overs.

The decision of <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pakistan-women-defeat-zimbabwe-women-in-2nd-t20i-match/5797-5-0">Pakistan Women</a> to bat first worked well, as the home side posted a huge total of 223/4 in their 20 overs.

The green shirts started strongly with new opening pair Muneeba Ali and Ayesha Zafar putting together 58 runs during the powerplay.

Lindokuhle Mabhero gave Zimbabwe an important breakthrough on the first ball of the seventh over by dismissing Muneeba, who scored 22 runs from 17 balls with three fours.

She struck again in her following over by removing Ayesha, who played a strong knock of 45 off just 28 deliveries, including nine boundaries.

After losing quick wickets, Iram Javed came in to bat with Saira. The pair settled things down for Pakistan and added 49 runs for the fourth wicket before Iram was dismissed by Michelle Mavunga in the 17th over.

After that, Saira teamed up with captain Fatima Sana, and the two pushed the scoring in the final phase with a strong 71-run partnership.

Fatima played the main role in that stand, scoring a quick 62 off just 19 balls, hitting 10 fours and two sixes. Saira also played well, staying unbeaten on 50 from 32 deliveries, which included eight fours.

Due to their collective efforts, Pakistan eventually posted a big total of 223 on the board, which proved too big to chase for Zimbabwe, as they bundled out for just 90 in the second innings.

Pakistan Women defeated Zimbabwe Women in the third T20I match at Karachi. They won the match by 133 runs, courtesy of a strong performance by the skipper Fatima Sana.

The final overs were dominated by Fatima Sana&rsquo;s power-hitting, combining with Jabeen to add 73 runs in four overs and taking the total to 223/4, the highest of the series so far. Extras contributed 14 runs throughout the innings.&nbsp;

This dominant performance set the tone for the Zimbabwe Women tour of Pakistan 2026 and highlighted the intensity of the T20 international series between Pak W vs Zim W.

Nashra Sandhu led Pakistan&rsquo;s bowling attack with impressive figures of 2/18 in her three overs. Meanwhile, Sadia Iqbal, Tuba Hassan, Ayesha Zafar, Natalia Pervaiz and skipper <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/fatima-sana-requests-pcb-chairman-to-launch-womens-league/5093-5-0">Fatima Sana</a> contributed with a wicket each.

Pakistan Women Seal Comfortable Victory Over Zimbabwe in Second T20I

In the ongoing 2nd T20I match between <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pakistan-women-vs-zimbabwe-women-pakistan-sets-a-strong-foundation-in-2nd-t20i/5792-5-0">Pakistan W vs Zimbabwe W</a> at Karachi, Zimbabwe Women are facing a steep challenge in their chase of 171 runs. After 10 overs, they have managed only 58/6, requiring 113 runs from the remaining 60 balls.

Beloved Biza top-scored with 11 from 9 balls, while Natasha Mtomba (10 off 17) and Runyararo Pasipanodya (1 off 6) failed to capitalize on their starts. The middle order has struggled, with Kelis Ndhlovu (8 off 4) and Adel Zimunu (12 off 10) falling cheaply. Vimbai Mutungwindu was run out for a duck, and the Zimbabwean innings is falling apart.

Zimbabwe Women&rsquo;s hopes now rest on Michelle Mavunga (8* off 2) and captain Nomvelo Sibanda (3* off 9), but with 6 wickets down, the task is daunting. Pakistan&rsquo;s bowlers have been on top, with Fatima Sana, Tuba Hassan, and Nashra Sandhu all picking up wickets. Sandhu has been the standout bowler with 2 wickets for 18 runs, while Sadia Iqbal also contributed with a key wicket.

With <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pak-women-vs-zim-women-live-as-eyman-fatima-blasts-unbeaten-79/5794-5-0">Zimbabwe Women</a> needing 113 runs in the final 10 overs, the game is heavily tilted in favor of Pakistan Women, who are now just a few wickets away from sealing the win.

Pakistan Women are firmly in control of this match. With Zimbabwe Women requiring 113 runs in the final 10 overs and just 4 wickets in hand, it would take a remarkable turnaround for Zimbabwe to pull off a victory. The odds are heavily stacked against them, and unless they have a late surge, Pakistan Women are likely to win this one comfortably.

Zimbabwe Women are at 58/6 in their chase of 171 against Pakistan Women in the 2nd T20I. Pakistan's bowlers are dominating with crucial wickets. Can Zimbabwe make a comeback?

Zimbabwe Women Struggling to Chase 171 in 2nd T20I vs Pakistan Women

KARACHI: A blistering, masterclass performance from Eyman Fatima propelled Pakistan Women to a commanding 170 for 4 in the first innings of the 2nd T20I against Zimbabwe Women at the National Stadium, Karachi.

Looking to seal the three-match series following their record-breaking 153-run victory in the <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pakistan-women-defeat-zimbabwe-women-in-first-t20i/5756-5-0">opener</a>, Pakistan&rsquo;s captain Fatima Sana won the toss and elected to bat first under the lights.&nbsp;

Electing to <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pakistan-women-vs-zimbabwe-women-2nd-t20i-toss-update-and-match-recap/5791-5-0">bat first</a>, Pakistan&rsquo;s initial game plan fell apart rapidly under a disciplined, aggressive opening spell from the Zimbabwean bowlers. Left-arm seamer stifled the hosts in the powerplay. Zimbabwe found their first breakthrough when Mavunga dismissed opener Gull Feroza for 9

The pressure mounted as veteran off-spinner Precious Marange struck soon after, removing Iram Javed for 5, while Mitchel Mavunga claimed the crucial wicket of the dangerous Ayesha Zafar for just 4. At 46 for 3 in the 8th over, Zimbabwe&#39;s bowling unit completely dictated the tempo, successfully choking Pakistan&#39;s heavily favored top order through consistent lines, defensive fields, and deceptive variations.

However, opening batter Muneeba Ali anchored one end with a gritty, stabilizing 36 off 33 balls. Her resilience laid the foundation for Eyman Fatima, who walked out at number 5 and completely turned the tide of the match.

Fatima single-handedly dismantled the visitors&#39; momentum with an array of fierce boundary-hitting. She launched a brutal counter-attack, smashing an unbeaten 79 runs off just 43 deliveries, including 10 boundaries and 4 towering sixes. Alongside Natalia Pervaiz, who chipped in with a brisk 24 off 19 balls, Fatima continuously targeted Zimbabwe&#39;s death bowling.

Though Marange (1/33), Mabhero (1/20), and Mavunga (1/38) bowled with exceptional control during the first half of the innings, they lacked depth execution as Pakistan plundered 52 runs off the final five overs.

Zimbabwe Women now face a daunting target of 171 runs at a required run rate of 8.55 per over to stay alive in the T20I series. Given Zimbabwe&rsquo;s previous batting collapse, where they were bundled out for just 84 runs in the 1st T20I, Pakistan&#39;s disciplined bowling unit remained heavily favored to secure the series under the lights in Karachi.

Eyman Fatima is also not out at 12 from 11 balls, offering stability with a good strike rate of 109.09.

On the other hand, Zimbabwe Women have been fairly tight with the ball, with Michelle Mavunga taking the crucial wicket of Gull Feroza (9 off 13) and Precious Marange dismissing Iram Javed (5 off 6) in the middle overs. Ayesha Zafar (3 off 6) was run out, leaving Pakistan Women in a delicate position.

Zimbabwe&#39;s bowlers have shown resilience, with the best figures being from Lindokuhle Mabhero, who bowled 1 over, conceding just 2 runs and taking no wickets. The Pakistani team is hoping to push the score further in the second half, with several key players yet to bat, including captain Fatima Sana and Natalia Pervaiz.

The game is shaping up to be an exciting contest with plenty of opportunities for both sides in the remaining overs.

<h2>Prediction:</h2>

Based on the current form and match situation, Pakistan Women appear to have the upper hand. However, if Zimbabwe Women can capitalize on any slip-ups and get quick breakthroughs, they could turn the game around. It&#39;s shaping up to be a thrilling finish.
