India Women produced a dominant display with both bat and ball to defeat Zimbabwe Women by 121 runs in the second ODI of the Zimbabwe Women in India 2026/27 series at the BCA Stadium, Vadodara.
After piling up an imposing 328/6 in 50 overs, India Women backed up their batting effort with a disciplined bowling performance to bundle out Zimbabwe for 207 in 48.5 overs.
Chasing a daunting target, Zimbabwe showed brief resistance through Modester Mupachikwa, who top-scored with 49 runs. Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano added 46, while Beloved Biza contributed 34. However, the visitors struggled to build substantial partnerships and failed to register a half-century.
India’s bowlers maintained pressure throughout the innings. Vaishnavi Sharma emerged as the standout performer, claiming an impressive 4 wickets for 39 runs. Veteran all-rounder Deepti Sharma chipped in with 3 for 32, while Jintimani Kalita, Sree Charani, and Sayali Satghare picked up a wicket each.
The victory underlined India’s superiority in home conditions and showcased the depth of their squad. Defending a massive total, the hosts never allowed Zimbabwe to gain momentum and wrapped up the contest comfortably to secure a convincing triumph.
