Mpumelelo Mbangwa (b. 26 June 1976) is a Zimbabwean cricketer. He has played 15 Tests and 29 one-day internationals for Zimbabwe. After finally being dropped from the international side after the 2002 Champions Trophy, he took up work as a cricket commentator for television, and he has remained in that line of work since. He is also known under his nickname Pommie.
Given a qualification of 20 innings, Mbangwa has the lowest batting average of all Test cricketers. However, as of 2006, he is one of nine Zimbabweans to have taken 30 Test wickets, and of those only Heath Streak and David Brain took them at a lower average.
