The Namibia cricket team toured Zimbabwe in September 2025 to play the Zimbabwe cricket team.[1] The tour consisted of three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches.[2] The series formed part of both teams' preparations for the 2025 Men's T20 World Cup Africa Regional Final.[3] In September 2025, the Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC) confirmed the fixtures for the tour. All the matches were played at the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo.[4]
