India Women have won the ODI series against Zimbabwe, sealing it with one match to spare after a dominant 121-run victory in the 2nd Women's ODI. The win was built on two centuries — Harmanpreet Kaur's 126 and a historic hundred from Deepti Sharma — that lifted India to a formidable 328/6.
Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepti Sharma Centuries Rescue India Women
India's innings did not start well. The team was reduced to 19/2 in the opening three overs, and a big total looked unlikely at that point. Harmanpreet Kaur and Pratika Rawal then steadied the innings with a crucial 124-run stand for the third wicket, according to the match report.
From there, India took control. Harmanpreet went on to score 126, while Deepti Sharma smashed a historic hundred — the standout moment of the innings. Their efforts pushed India to 328/6, a total that always looked beyond Zimbabwe.
Vaishnavi Sharma's Four Wickets Crush Zimbabwe Chase
Zimbabwe's reply never found momentum. Vaishnavi Sharma led the bowling attack with four wickets as the chase unravelled, and India closed out a comfortable 121-run win. The result gave India the series with a game still to play.
- India recovered from 19/2 to post 328/6 — a strong show of depth in the batting order
- Harmanpreet Kaur's 126 anchored the innings after the early collapse
- Deepti Sharma's century was described as historic in the match report
- Vaishnavi Sharma's four-wicket haul broke the back of Zimbabwe's chase
Our Take: A Record-Breaking Win That Shows India's Batting Depth
To put it plainly, this was a win built on character as much as skill. Losing two wickets inside three overs can sink a team, but Harmanpreet and Pratika Rawal absorbed the pressure, and then Harmanpreet and Deepti turned the innings around completely. Two centuries in one innings is a rare feat, and Deepti's historic hundred deserves special attention.
In our view, the most encouraging part for India is the bowling. Vaishnavi Sharma's four wickets show the team is not dependent on one or two names to finish the job. A 121-run margin is not a narrow escape — it is a statement. India will take real confidence from sealing the series with a match to spare, and Zimbabwe will need a serious rethink before the next game.
