IND-W vs ZIM-W 3rd T20I Live Commentary - Raipur (20 October 2026)

Shaping away on a length, outside off, Biza hangs back and punches it to deep cover-point for a single.

 FOUR! Through the gap! Short outside off, sitting up nicely. Mayers presses back and with a straight bat, she crisply punches it to the extra cover gap for a boundary.

On top of off, on a length, Mayers steers it between point and cover-point for a single.

Fuller ball, on the stumps, Biza watchfully blocks it to the mid on region.

On a length, outside off, Biza punches it to deep cover-point for a single.

No run, played towards covers.

An appeal for LBW, but not given. Looks to be going down leg, and there seems to be an inside edge as well. So the Indians don't take the review. Fuller and shaping in a touch, Mayers plays all over it and the ball passes close to the inside edge as the ball strikes her back pad. Ball Tracking later shows that the ball would have clipped the leg stump on umpire's call. So even if India would have reviewed that, they wouldn't have burnt it.

Good length, on leg, worked in front of deep square leg for a single.

A full ball on the pads, flicked off the bottom end towards square leg for a single.

Landed up, full and outside off, this is steered away to point.

 Beaten! Back of a length, skiddy delivery outside off. Mayers dangles her bat loosely away from her body and gets beaten as the ball nips away.

Length-delivery, outside off, Mayers hangs back and knocks it into covers.

Nagging length, on a tight line, Modester Mupachikwa taps it to cover-point.

Good shot, great fielding, excellent cricket! Full and outside off, shaping away. Modester smears it to the cover region where Prema makes a fine stop to her right. She quickly gets rid of the ball and scores a direct hit to the bowling end, but Mayers has her bat grounded inside safely.

 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Nandani strikes now. She bowls a length-delivery that nips away from the batter. Modester Mupachikwa tries to free her arms with a square cut but gets an outside edge and Richa Ghosh makes no mistake behind the stumps. A confident appeal for caught behind, but the umpire shakes her head! There was a certain noise when the ball passed the bat and the Indians, shocked by the decision, have sent it upstairs. UltraEdge confirms a clear deflection and the on-field decision is overturned. Zimbabwe Women are 12/2, chasing 217 runs.

Fuller than a length, around off, Biza plays it close to her body and taps it through covers for a single to open her account.

Back of a length, angling in, Sharne steers it to deep square leg for a single.

FOUR! Oh, what a shot! That will definitely give her a lot of confidence. Sharma bangs it short on top of off, Beloved Biza lines up for the pull shot and nails it over mid-wicket for a boundary.

OUT! SHARP CATCH! And there goes the first wicket. Full from Kranti, outside the off stump from around the wickets. Kelis tries to hammer it through the cover gap. She does get the timing perfectly fine, but fails to keep it along the ground. It goes at a catchable height and Niki Prasad at short cover, takes a very sharp catch to her right. A golden duck for Kelis as Zimbabwe Women are 0/1, chasing 217.

Full on the pads, Mupachikwa flicks it to deep square leg for a single.

Around off on a length, Mayers defends it off the back foot.

Fuller delivery on leg, Mayers pushes it wide of mid on. Harmanpreet dives full-length and gets a hand to it. Takes pace off and keeps it to two.

Good length, on middle and off, Sharne Mayers keeps it out. 

 5 WIDES! Full and way too wide down the leg side, Sharne Mayers mises ont he flick and the ball beats both the batter and the keeper for a boundary towards fine leg. 

 FOUR! Very well struck! Back of a length, outside off, Sharne Mayers blasts it through the cover gap for a cracking boundary. A productive over for Zimbabwe, despite a wicket off the first ball.
