This failure to qualify continued a trend for Zimbabwe, as they have struggled in recent World Cup qualifiers, including missing the 2019 and 2023 ODI World Cups.

This outcome was particularly disappointing given their previous participation in the 2022 T20 World Cup, where they advanced to the second round but did not perform well enough to secure direct qualification for 2024.
