Vaishnavi Sharma's Five-Wicket Haul Leads India to 3-0 ODI Series Sweep Over ZimbabwePreviousNext

Vaishnavi Sharma, a 20-year-old left-arm spinner, took her maiden five-wicket haul (5 for 39) to help India bowl out Zimbabwe for 131 in the third Women's ODI in Vadodara, completing a 3-0 series sweep. Zimbabwe struggled with their batting despite contributions from Modester Mupachikwa (37) and Josephine Nkomo (35). India chased the target comfortably in 17 overs, powered by unbeaten half-centuries from Pratika Rawal (59) and Shafali Verma (51), who equaled the second-fastest Indian women's ODI fifty.
