At the time of the tour, Zimbabwe did not have Women's One Day International (WODI) status, so the 50-over matches were not classed as such. [9] Ahead of the tour Zimbabwe's coach, Adam Chifo, said that one of the aims would be for the team to eventually gain WODI status. [10] On 5 February 2021, the Pakistan team arrived in Harare for their first ever tour of the country. [11] [12]

Pakistan won the first 50-over match, beating Zimbabwe by 178 runs. [13] However, on 11 February 2021, the tour was ended abruptly. [14] Commencing on 13 February 2021, Emirates Airlines introduced new travel policies on flights from Harare to Pakistan, resulting in the Pakistan team flying home ahead of the new restrictions.
