India Women will take on Zimbabwe Women in the third and final ODI on Wednesday, 28 October 2026, at BCA Stadium, Kotambi, Vadodara. The match will begin at 2:00 PM IST, with India having already secured the three-match series by winning the first two encounters. Consequently, the hosts will aim to complete a clean sweep and maintain their dominant form, while Zimbabwe will look to finish the tour on a positive note with a stronger all-round performance.
India delivered an outstanding batting display in the second ODI, compiling 328/6 in their allotted 50 overs. Harmanpreet Kaur led the innings with a superb 126 off 121 balls, while Deepti Sharma remained unbeaten on 106 from 86 deliveries. In addition, Pratika Rawal contributed 61 off 67 balls, helping India recover from early setbacks and build a commanding total. Zimbabwe’s bowlers struggled to contain the Indian batters, although Nomvelo Sibanda claimed 2/38 and Michelle Mavunga returned figures of 1/47. India’s ability to rebuild after losing early wickets highlighted the depth and resilience of their batting lineup.
Zimbabwe struggled to match India’s scoring pace and were dismissed for 207 in 48.5 overs, suffering a 121-run defeat. Modester Mupachikwa top-scored with 49 off 70 balls, while Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano added 46 from 57 deliveries. However, India’s bowlers maintained control throughout the innings, with Vaishnavi Sharma claiming four wickets for 39 runs and Deepti Sharma taking three for 32. With both Harmanpreet and Deepti in excellent form, India will enter the final ODI looking to sustain their dominance. Zimbabwe, meanwhile, must improve their bowling discipline and provide stronger support to their leading batters if they hope to challenge the hosts and avoid a series whitewash.
