In the third and final Twenty20 International in Raipur on Tuesday, India Women completed a 3-0 series sweep by defeating Zimbabwe Women by 92 runs thanks to a strong all-around effort. India batted first and amassed 216/7 in 20 overs because to Shafali Verma’s brilliant 69 off 37 balls and Harmanpreet Kaur’s undefeated 91 off just 41 deliveries, which included five sixes and ten fours.
India’s batting effort was led by Harmanpreet Kaur, who scored 91 off 41 balls with 10 fours and 5 sixes. At the top of the order, Shafali Verma scored 69 off 37 balls with six fours and five sixes, creating an explosive framework. India’s innings gained decisive momentum thanks to the pair’s 84-run combination.
Shafali got her 23rd T20I fifty and her ninth of 2026 after hitting her half-century in just 26 balls. India ended Zimbabwe’s chase considerably short of the goal as Nandani Sharma claimed three wickets in the last over. Smriti Mandhana did not bat throughout the game and served as the team’s captain.
As India continued to score at a rapid rate, Anushka Sharma also made a quick 28 off 20 balls. Zimbabwe’s reply ended at 124/7, with Beloved Biza scoring 44 and Sharne Mayers leading the way with 60 off 49 balls. Nandani Sharma led the attack with three wickets for eighteen runs as India’s bowlers struck at pivotal times. The resounding victory secured India’s clean sweep and extended their T20I winning record to 11 matches.
Zimbabwe finished at 124 for 7 and were never in serious contention during their chase of 217. With a score of 60 in the third Twenty20 International, Sharne Mayers provided the visitors with the most resistance, but the rest of the batting lineup did not provide her with enough assistance to create a real threat.
India’s best bowler was Nandani Sharma, who claimed three wickets, including two in the last over, to help end the game and the series. During the Zimbabwe Women’s tour of India in 2026–2027, India won all three Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) in Raipur with ease, never letting Zimbabwe develop any prolonged pressure with bat or ball.
