Zimbabwe All Out for 131 as Vaishnavi Sharma Takes 5 Wickets

India's spinners dominated the third one-day international against Zimbabwe at the BCA Stadium in Vadodara, where Zimbabwe were bowled out for 131 in 39.5 overs. Leading the attack was 20-year-old Vaishnavi Sharma, whose five-wicket haul was the defining feature of the innings.

Zimbabwe elected to bat first after winning the toss, but early wickets disrupted their plans. Lorin Phiri was out without scoring, and Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano managed only four before departing. Bilved Bija was dismissed for one, caught by Harmanpreet Kaur off Vaishnavi Sharma's bowling, and the visitors were reduced to 25 for three.

Josephine Nkomo and Chiedza Dhururu attempted to rebuild, sharing 27 runs for the fourth wicket in 40 balls. Dhururu was dismissed for 20 by Vaishnavi Sharma. Nkomo, who led the side, scored 35 off 67 balls with four boundaries before her dismissal. The remaining wickets fell at regular intervals, and Zimbabwe were eventually all out for 131. Nyasha Gwanzura scored 10 runs and Mishel Mavunga added six.

Vaishnavi Sharma finished with 5 wickets for 39 runs from 10 overs. Kranti Gaud supported her with 2 wickets for 23 runs from seven overs, while Sayali Satghare took 2 wickets for 11 runs from six overs.

India already lead the three-match series 2-0, with the series unbeaten so far.
