Honestly, this is a weak squad. After losing to South Africa, they should have made more changes. Fatima Sana is good but she needs support from others. Zimbabwe is a good chance to build momentum though.

Pakistan women's cricket is improving but they still lack depth. Good to see new players like Momina Riasat getting opportunities. Hope this series helps them find some consistency for the World Cup. 🤞

Zimbabwe women's team touring Pakistan for the first time - that's a big step for women's cricket in that region. Hope both teams put up a good show. But Pakistan really need to work on their batting, especially against spin.

Interesting to see Pakistan preparing for the Women's T20 World Cup with this series. The ICC Women's Championship structure really helps teams like Zimbabwe and Pakistan get more meaningful matches. Should be a competitive series.

Good squad selection but why is Nida Dar not in the team? She's been a consistent performer. Maybe they're giving younger players a chance. Either way, hope Pakistan women do well. Cricket needs more women's teams competing regularly.
