In response, Zimbabwe almost lost a wicket in the first over with Lorraine Pemhiwa’s stumps shattered by Ayanda Hlubi, only for it to be a no-ball for overstepping. That didn’t matter much as Zimbabwe lost two wickets inside the powerplay. Josephine Nkomo, returning from injury to play her first match as full-time captain for Zimbabwe, and Beloved Biza added 36 off 38 for the fourth wicket, which offered a semblance of control for Zimbabwe. For a second successive game, Mavunga then chipped in with a cameo of 25 off just 13 balls.
