The Zimbabwe women's cricket team toured Namibia in January 2019 to play a five-match Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) series known as the Namib Desert Challenge.[1] These were the first matches with WT20I status to be played by Zimbabwe after the International Cricket Council announced that all matches played between women's teams of Associate Members after 1 July 2018 would have full T20I status.[2] The venue for all of the matches was the Sparta Cricket Club Ground in Walvis Bay.[1] Zimbabwe won the series 5–0.[3]
The tournament provided both teams with some preparation ahead of the 2019 ICC Women's Qualifier Africa.[1]
