As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Namibian women's team had not played an international fixture since the Women's World Twenty20 Qualifier in September 2019 – a tournament that they had participated in following the International Cricket Council's suspension of Zimbabwe.[5] Zimbabwe's most recent matches were at the African qualifier event in May 2019.

On 7 January 2021, Cricket Namibia announced that the series had been postponed due to COVID-19 lockdown regulations in the country.[6]
