Bowlers Fire in Unison as India Women Keep Zimbabwe Down to 102

India’s bowlers delivered a masterclass in collective discipline as they stifled Zimbabwe’s batting lineup, reducing them to a modest 102 for eight in the second Women’s T20I. The hosts took early control by dismissing opener Kelis Ndhiovu for a golden duck and restricting Zimbabwe to just 20 runs in the Power Play, including a single boundary.

While skipper Josephine Nkomo and Chipo Tiripano briefly steadied the innings with a 45-run partnership, Tiripano’s dismissal by off-spinner Niki Prasad (2/7) shattered momentum. India’s pacers, including Nandani Sharma, maintained relentless pressure, while Prasad’s sharp turn of wrist proved decisive in dismantling Zimbabwe’s resistance.

The dominant display handed India a 1-0 series lead after two matches, setting a strong foundation for the final game.
