Kaur and Deepti centuries power India to 328

Two substantial hundreds defined India’s innings. Kaur’s 126 was the highest individual score of the match, while Deepti’s 106 gave India a second major contribution in a total of 328/6 from their full 50 overs.

Pratika Rawal also made a significant contribution with 61. Together, those three batters supplied 293 runs, giving Zimbabwe a demanding target of 329 and leaving little room for an extended quiet spell in the chase.

Nomvelo Sibanda took two wickets for Zimbabwe, while Nyasha Gwanzura and Michelle Mavunga claimed one apiece. Nevertheless, India’s three leading scorers ensured the innings finished with a formidable total.
