Pratika Rawal (59*) and Shafali Verma (51*) slammed half-centuries in the modest run chase of 132 runs to seal the series 3-0 at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara. The hosts lost Yastika Bhatia on the very first ball of the innings and Harleen Deol in the ninth over, but they recovered from those blows to win the game comfortably by eight wickets.

Earlier, Zimbabwe won the toss and opted to bat first, only to lose their way in the first 10 overs of their innings. Only Modester Mupachikwa (37), skipper Josephine Nkomo (35) and Chiedza Dhururu (20) crossed 20 as Zimbabwe were skittled for 131 runs in the 40th over of the innings. Left-arm spinner Vaishanvi Sharma accounted for a five-wicket haul for just 39 runs, while Kranti Gaud and Sayali Satghare picked up a couple of scalps each.

India had won the opening game of the series by nine wickets, chasing down 198 in less than 30 overs, while they reigned supreme in the second by 121 runs.
