India Women beat Zimbabwe Women by 92 runs in the third and final T20I at Raipur, completing a 3-0 series sweep on the back of an unbeaten century stand between Harmanpreet Kaur and Shafali Verma. The win follows directly on from the nine-wicket victory that had already sealed the series two days earlier, with this match left to decide only whether Zimbabwe could avoid a clean sweep.
India posted 216 for 7 in their 20 overs, with Harmanpreet Kaur smashing an unbeaten 91 off 41 balls, including ten fours and five sixes, and Shafali Verma adding 69 at the top of the order. It is a significant statement innings from Harmanpreet, who handed over the full-time India Women captaincy to Smriti Mandhana earlier this year and has continued to bat with the same authority in the ranks since.
Zimbabwe, chasing a daunting target, got to 124 for 7 thanks to a fighting 60 from Sharne Mayers, but never threatened to get within range of the required rate. Nandani Sharma took 3 for 18 and Beloved Biza added 3 for 50 at the other end for Zimbabwe, but the gulf established by India's total proved far too large to bridge.
A 92-run margin in a dead rubber underlines how comprehensively India dominated this series from the opening match, and gives the batting order, including debutant Niki Prasad earlier in the series, further time together before bigger assignments later in the home season. For Zimbabwe, the tour ends with three defeats from three and little beyond individual performances like Mayers' fifty to take from it.
India Women's home season continues after this series concludes, with the squad expected to regroup ahead of further fixtures later this year, while Zimbabwe return home having completed their most recent tour of India without a win in the format.
