Harmanpreet Kaur’s explosive unbeaten 91 and Nandani Sharma’s three-wicket haul guided India to a commanding 92-run victory over Zimbabwe in the third and final women’s T20I at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur on Tuesday.
The win completed a 3-0 series sweep for India. Batting first, India posted an imposing 216/7 in 20 overs. Harmanpreet smashed 91 off just 41 deliveries, reaching her half-century in 25 balls, while Shafali Verma contributed an attacking 61. Anushka Sharma added 28 as India maintained a strong scoring rate.
Beloved Biza claimed three wickets for Zimbabwe but conceded 50 runs. Zimbabwe’s chase got off to a disastrous start when Kelis Ndlovu fell for a golden duck on the opening delivery.
Beloved Biza scored 44 and Shrne Mayers made 50, sharing an 82-run partnership, but their efforts could not keep pace with the required rate. Zimbabwe finished at 124/7 in 20 overs. Nandani returned figures of 3/18, while Niki Prasad, Deepti Sharma, Kranti Gaud and Arundhati Reddy took one wicket each to seal India’s emphatic victory.
