India women target another clean sweep against Zimbabwe in ODIs

The Indian women's cricket squad is preparing for a three-match one-day international series against Zimbabwe following a three-nil sweep in the shorter format. Smriti Mandhana prepares to lead the squad in her initial full-time fifty-over assignment as captain, while the batting lineup weighs options such as Harleen Deol and Pratika Rawal to fill the number three role left vacant by Jemimah Rodrigues due to a hamstring injury.

Harmanpreet Kaur enters the series with momentum following a ninety-one-run performance in the preceding contest. Opening batter Shafali Verma and bowler Shree Charani are expected to present major challenges for the visiting side during the opening fixture at the BCA Stadium in Kotambi located in Vadodara.
