India Women will take on Zimbabwe Women in the second ODI on Sunday, 25 October 2026, at BCA Stadium, Kotambi, Vadodara. The match will begin at 2:00 PM IST, with India holding a 1–0 series lead after a convincing nine-wicket victory in the opening game. Consequently, India will aim to secure the series with another commanding performance, while Zimbabwe must respond strongly to stay competitive.
In the first ODI on 23 October, Zimbabwe managed 197 in 49.5 overs before India’s bowling attack dismissed the visitors. Beloved Biza led the batting effort with 62 off 92 balls, while Modester Mupachikwa added 25. However, India maintained control through an impressive bowling display, with Shree Charani taking four wickets for 23 runs and Kranti Gaud claiming three for 42. In addition, Deepti Sharma picked up two wickets, helping India restrict Zimbabwe to a total they could realistically chase.
India’s batters then made light work of the target, reaching 200/1 in just 27.1 overs. Pratika Rawal led the chase with an unbeaten 100 off 96 deliveries, while Shafali Verma provided an aggressive start by smashing 64 off only 33 balls. Their 162-run opening partnership effectively settled the contest, and Smriti Mandhana remained unbeaten on 12 to complete the victory. Meanwhile, Zimbabwe will need to strike early and improve their bowling discipline in the second ODI. India, on the other hand, will look to maintain their top-order dominance and wrap up the series without allowing the visitors an opportunity to recover.
