Chipo Spiwe Mugeri (born 2 March 1992) is a Zimbabwean cricketer who is the current captain of the Zimbabwean national women's team. She is an all-rounder who bats left-handed and is a right-arm medium-pace bowler.
Early career
Mugeri is from the city of Mutare.[1] She made her international debut for Zimbabwe at the 2008 World Cup Qualifier in South Africa, at the age of 15.[2] She was the second-youngest player in the squad, and one of three 15-year-olds.[3] Mugeri appeared in four of her team's matches at the tournament, scoring 60 runs and taking three wickets.[4] Her best batting and bowling figures came in the same game, when she scored 38 runs and took 1/8 against Bermuda.[5]
After her debut, Mugeri's next major international tournament was the Africa regional qualifier in December 2010, which formed part of the qualification process for the 2013 World Cup.[6] Zimbabwe finished runner-up at the tournament to qualify for the 2011 World Cup Qualifier, but Mugeri did not make the final team for that event.[7] At the 2013 World Twenty20 Qualifier, Mugeri played in all five of her team's matches, scoring 68 runs (the second-most for her team behind Nonhlanhla Nyathi).[8] Her highest score was 32 runs from 33 balls against Pakistan, in a match where her team's total was just 70 runs.[9]
Captaincy
Mugeri's first international tournament as captain of Zimbabwe was the 2014 Africa Twenty20 Championship in South Africa.[10] She scored 68 runs in one match against Namibia, with her team finishing first to qualify for the 2015 World Twenty20 Qualifier in Thailand.[11] At the World Twenty20 Qualifier, Mugeri scored 120 runs to finish as Zimbabwe's leading run-scorer, and fourth overall.[12] She made 51 not out and took 1/14 against China,[13] and then was named player of the match in the third-place play-off against Scotland, taking 2/17 and scoring 47 not out to help Zimbabwe win from the second-last ball of the match.[14]
Personal life
Mugeri is married to Donald Tiripano, who has represented the Zimbabwean men's team. They have a daughter together.[1]
