NZ-W VS ZIM-W 1st T20I, Dream11 Team Prediction for New Zealand Women vs Zimbabwe Women T20I Series 2026 Preview: The new era in New Zealand women’s cricket begins as Amelia Kerr is all set to take on the captaincy role of the White Ferns. The star all-rounder will be featuring in her first series as a full-time captain as New Zealand are set to host Zimbabwe Women for the three ODIs and three T20Is. The experienced trio of Suzie Bates, Sophie Devine, and Lea Tahuhu has been rested from the home series against Zimbabwe. 

The tour will begin with a three-match T20I series. New Zealand Women will take on Zimbabwe Women in the first T20I on Wednesday at Seddon Park in Hamilton, starting at 11:45 AM IST. Star bowler Nomvelo Sibanda will lead the visitors. It will be a great learning curve for them as they will be looking to get face-to-face with the World T20 champions. On the other hand, New Zealand Women will be defending their title in the upcoming ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 in June and July. So, they will be trying different combinations in this series.

NZ-W VS ZIM-W Dream11 Team Prediction – Who Will Win? 

Zimbabwe Women lack the firepower they need to compete at the highest level. Additionally, they play with a little conservative approach with the bat. A lot will depend on the start by Chiedza Dhururu and Nyasha Gwanzura with the bat. Adel Zimunhu will be the key in the middle order for them. 

Zimbabwe Women have been winless in the last five T20Is, and they are currently struggling to get over the line. On the other hand, New Zealand women are playing at home, and they know the conditions very well and can plan well. Then, despite not resting the senior players, they still have several match-winners, which will give them an edge. Hence, New Zealand women will be favorites going into this contest.
