Shafali gives India a flying start
With Smriti Mandhana not required to bat, Shafali Verma set the tempo at the top of the order. She struck 69 from 37 deliveries, hitting six fours and five sixes, and ensured India maintained a high scoring rate through the first half of the innings.
Anushka Sharma supported the brisk start before Zimbabwe found openings, but India's middle order still had a strong platform from which to attack the closing overs.
Harmanpreet's unbeaten 91 transforms the innings
Harmanpreet Kaur produced the decisive innings of the match. The former captain raced to her fifty from 25 balls and finished with 91 not out from 41, including ten fours and five sixes.
Her late acceleration carried India to 216/7, the team's third-highest total in Women's T20 internationals. Zimbabwe's Beloved Biza took three wickets, but the visitors could not prevent India from adding heavily in the closing stages.
Zimbabwe's chase falls short
Zimbabwe needed 217 to win and received a determined response from Sharne Mayers, who scored 60, while Beloved Biza contributed 44. Their effort kept the innings moving, but the required rate remained beyond reach.
Nandani Sharma led India's bowling effort with three wickets, while Kranti Gaud, Deepti Sharma, Sree Charani and Arundhati Reddy also contributed to restrict Zimbabwe to 124/7.
India complete a dominant 3-0 sweep
The result completed a perfect T20I series for India under Smriti Mandhana. The hosts had won the opening match by four wickets and the second by nine wickets before delivering their most comprehensive performance in the finale.
The 92-run margin was India's largest victory by runs in a Women's T20I at home. It also extended the team's winning sequence in the format to 11 matches.
