West Indies Women have moved 2-0 up in their three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe Women, winning the second game at the Takashinga Sports Club in Harare by eight wickets. Chasing a target of 107, the tourists got home in just 9.1 overs, finishing on 108 for 2 after restricting the hosts to 106 for 7 from their 20 overs. It is the second comfortable win in a row for West Indies after their eight-wicket victory in the series opener on October 3, which was also decided inside 10 overs of the chase.
Zimbabwe improved slightly on their series-opening total of 97 but still finished well short of a competitive score, managing 106 for 7 in their full 20 overs. With a required rate of just over five an over, West Indies' top order never looked troubled in the chase, getting the match done with more than half the innings unused — a repeat of the pattern from the first T20I, where the tourists also won with 43 balls to spare.
With two wins from two matches, West Indies have already secured the series with one game still to play; the third and final T20I at the same venue on October 7 is now a dead rubber for the result but still carries individual and ICC Women's Championship-adjacent interest for both camps. For Zimbabwe, who also lost the preceding ODI series 2-1 on this tour, finding a way to post a total that puts real pressure on the West Indies batting order remains the unresolved problem heading into the decider.
The result extends a strong run for a West Indies squad captained by Hayley Matthews, who has now overseen series wins in both white-ball formats on this Zimbabwe tour. It also shows the squad has depth beyond the headline performers from the series opener, Jahzara Claxton and Afy Fletcher, with a different top-order combination doing the job in game two.
Having now lost both completed T20Is by the same eight-wicket margin, Zimbabwe's bowling has had little room for error against a West Indies batting order finding its range quickly in every chase on this tour. A more competitive total — closer to 140-150 than the 97 and 106 posted so far — would at least test whether the result pattern is about the bowling or simply a product of too small a target to defend, a question Zimbabwe will want answered before the tour ends on October 7.
