Recent matches and results

Zimbabwe kicked off a short ODI series against Sri Lanka in late August. The first game in Harare saw Sri Lanka win a tight contest, but the second match swung in Zimbabwe’s favour thanks to a solid knock from their top order. The series finished 2‑1 in Sri Lanka’s favor, but the Zim side showed they can bounce back when the odds are against them.

Across the Tasman, New Zealand called up fast‑bowler Zak Foulkes for a surprise Test debut in Bulawayo. He grabbed four wickets on day two, helping New Zealand bowl out Zimbabwe for 125. While the result was a heavy loss for Zimbabwe, the performance gave fans a glimpse of a new talent that could shape future contests.

Other headlines include a strong showing by Lungi Ngidi in South Africa’s win over Australia and a dramatic win for South Africa in a different series, but those stories are less about Zimbabwe and more about the broader cricket world that surrounds them.

What’s next for Zimbabwe cricket?

Looking ahead, the team has a busy calendar. The next major assignment is a home series against the West Indies in early 2026, with both ODIs and T20 matches on the docket. The board is also planning a tour of England for the summer, which will be a good test of the side’s depth.

On the player front, the rising star of the batting line‑up, a 22‑year‑old left‑hander, is expected to cement his spot after a string of half‑centuries in the last few games. Meanwhile, the fast‑bowling unit is working on adding more pace to the attack, a move that could make a big difference in the upcoming matches.
