The result meant that Zimbabwe’s poor run in World Cup qualifiers continued: they had failed to make the cut for the 2019 and 2023 ODI World Cups, after failing to finish in the top two in the qualification tournaments held at home. Apart from that, they were unable to participate in the 2021 T20 World Cup, because Zimbabwe Cricket had been suspended at that time by the ICC for government interference in their cricket administration, and while they exited the first round in the 2022 T20 World Cup World Cup, they finished last with one victory in five matches in the second round, which also prevented them from qualifying directly for the next edition of the T20 World Cup, which will be played in June in the West Indies and the United States. By failing to qualify for the 2023 ODI World Cup, Zimbabwe also missed out on the opportunity to qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy.
