In January 2019, Sibanda was named in Zimbabwe's Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) squad for their five-match series against Namibia.[3] The matches were the first WT20I matches to be played by Zimbabwe since the International Cricket Council (ICC) awarded WT20I status to all of its members in July 2018.[4] She made her WT20I debut on 5 January 2019, for Zimbabwe against Namibia.[5] In October 2021, Sibanda was named in Zimbabwe's Women's One Day International (WODI) squad for their four-match series against Ireland.[6] The fixtures were the first WODI matches after Zimbabwe also gained WODI status from the ICC in April 2021.[7] She made her WODI debut on 5 October 2021, for Zimbabwe against Ireland.[8]
In November 2021, she was named in Zimbabwe's team for the 2021 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier tournament in Zimbabwe.[9] In April 2022, she was named in Zimbabwe's squad for the 2022 Capricorn Women's Tri-Series.[10] In the final of the tournament, against Namibia, she became the first bowler for Zimbabwe to take a hat-trick in a WT20I match,[11] and she also took her first five-wicket haul in WT20Is.[12][13]
