The Zimbabwe women's cricket team toured Thailand in April 2023 to play three One Day International (ODI) and three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches. This was Zimbabwe's first tour to Thailand for a bilateral series.[1] Originally the tour was to consist of just three T20Is,[2] before being expanded to a series of 3 ODIs and 4 T20Is.[3][4][5] However, after the completion of the first match of the T20I series, it was announced that the series would be reduced to three matches due to scheduling conflicts with the Southeast Asian Games cricket tournament.[6]
