India bludgeoned Zimbabwe by 9 wickets, chasing 103 in just 8.5 overs as Shafali Verma blasted a 55 off 25 balls.
The opening pair erupted, piling on 96 runs in the first 12 overs. Mandhana stayed unbeaten on 47, while Shafali smashed six sixes and a flurry of boundaries that left the hosts scrambling.
Shafali's 55, her 22nd in T20Is, marks the ninth 50‑plus score of 2026, eclipsing Smriti Mandhana's eight and setting a new calendar‑year record.
India's bowlers kept the pressure on from the start. Nandani Sharma's first‑over wicket of Kelis Ndhlovu and Niki Prasad's 2/7 stifled Zimbabwe's chase, while Beloved Biza fell for a duck.
With the series now 2-0 in its favour, India looks to carry the momentum into the final match on Monday, hoping to seal a clean sweep against Zimbabwe.
