This will be South Africa's first visit to the country and the first-ever T20I series between the two teams. The matches will be played on September 11, 13, 15, 17 and 19 and will start at 1.30pm local time.

Zimbabwe and South Africa have met only twice before in international cricket - during an ODI quadrangular series in South Africa in 2017. "South Africa are one of the strongest teams in world cricket and this tour presents our players with a valuable opportunity to test themselves against elite opposition in home conditions," ZC managing director Givemore Makoni said. "This series reflects Zimbabwe Cricket's continued commitment to investing in the women's game and creating more opportunities for our players to compete at the highest level." Zimbabwe last played a home series in September-October 2025, when they hosted UAE.

Since then, they have played in the 2026 T20 World Cup Global Qualifier, where they lost their all four matches. More recently, they toured New Zealand and Pakistan. After the South Africa series, Zimbabwe are set to tour India for three T20Is and three ODIs. It will be Zimbabwe's first visit to India.
