The rivalry continues in the away leg of the South Africa–Zimbabwe Women’s Baseball Series, as the Senior and U18 national teams prepare to face Zimbabwe in Harare over the next three days. The two nations last met in August 2024 at Boksburg Baseball Club for the first historical match of the series, which also marked the appearance of South Africa’s first-ever Women’s Baseball Teams — a landmark moment for the federation and the sport.
In that inaugural home leg, the South Africa Women U18 team went unbeaten as did the the Senior Women followed with an equally strong showing, to close out the historic event. The series not only delivered promising results on the field but also opened the door for continued international engagement and growth for women’s baseball in Africa and thereby also ensuring South Africa Women achieved their first WBSC ranking points.
Now, South Africa gets started in Zimbabwe for the away leg, continuing the momentum established last year and further strengthening the pathway for competitive opportunities across both nations. The next three days will see a full schedule of U18 and Senior fixtures:
