2nd ODI: Vaishnavi, Deepti Spin India To Series-sealing Win With 121-run Victory Over Zimbabwe
Vaishnavi Sharma: Left-arm spinner Vaishnavi Sharma claimed her maiden four-wicket haul in international cricket, while Deepti Sharma followed up her unbeaten century with three wickets as India thrashed Zimbabwe by 121 runs in the second womens ODI here at the BCA Stadium on Sunday and seal the three-match series 2-0 with a game to spare. Set a daunting 329 after centuries from Harmanpreet Kaur (126) and Deepti (106 not out) powered India to 328/6, Zimbabwe made a spirited start through Modester Mupachikwa (49) and Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano (46), but were eventually bowled out for 207 in 48.5 overs. Vaishnavi, who came into the playing eleven in place of the rested Kranti Gaud, did the bulk of the damage in the middle overs by ripping through the Zimbabwe line-up to finish with impressive figures of 4-39 from her 10 overs. Deepti then returned in the death overs to pick up 3-32 and round off another commanding all-round display. Apart from Vaishnavi and Deepti, Jintimani Kalita, Sayali Satghare and N Sree Charani picked a scalp each. After a bright start, Zimbabwe seemed more focused on spending time at the crease than on chasing down the target, and India were rarely troubled once the second-wicket stand of 69 runs was broken. Zimbabwe made a bright start to the chase as Modester cracked two boundaries off the first two balls from Sayali. The Indian seamers struggled with their lines early on as Modester continued to cash in on anything short or on the pads. But India struck through spin in the ninth over when Charani had Loryn Phiri (6) caught by short midwicket and end a 38-run opening stand. Chipo then took the attack to the spinners, hitting three fours in a Charani over. She added 69 for the second wicket with Modester before Sayali got a breakthrough in the 23rd over by castling her for 46 through the gate with one that nipped back in. Vaishnavi, who bowled slower through the air, then turned the game decisively in Indias favour. Switching to over the wicket, the left-arm spinner picked up her maiden ODI wicket when Modester fell one short of a fifty, as she sliced straight to backward point. Beloved Biza (34) tried to keep Zimbabwe in the hunt with some aggressive strokes against the spinners, but was trapped lbw by Vaishnavi after India successfully reviewed the decision. Vaishnavi then bowled Michelle Mavunga (3) with a classic flighted delivery that clipped the top of off-stump. Zimbabwe skipper Josephine Nkomo, who survived a dropped chance by wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh, was also undone by Vaishnavis flight and was trapped lbw for 20 with the DRS failing to save her. Nyasha Gwanzura briefly entertained with the first six of the Zimbabwe innings, but Deepti trapped her lbw, while having Nomvelo Sibanda edged the next ball to slip. Though Deepti missed out on a hat-trick, she returned to dismiss Tendai Makusha with a leading edge to backward point. Jintimani wrapped up the innings in the 49th over and also got her first ODI wicket when Chiedza Dhururu chipped straight to cover. Zimbabwe skipper Josephine Nkomo, who survived a dropped chance by wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh, was also undone by Vaishnavis flight and was trapped lbw for 20 with the DRS failing to save her.

2nd ODI: Harmanpreet, Deepti, Vaishnavi take India to series win over Zimbabwe (Ld)
Digital Desk | Vadodara, Oct 25 (IANS) Harmanpreet Kaur and Deepti Sharma struck centuries before left-arm spinner Vaishnavi Sharma claimed her maiden four-wicket haul in international cricket as India beat Zimbabwe by 121 runs in the second womens ODI here at the BCA Stadium on Sunday to seal the three-match series 2-0 with a game to spare. After Pratika Rawal made 61, Harmanpreet (126) and Deepti (106 not out) shared a record 153-run stand for the fifth wicket to power India to 328/6 after an early wobble. Zimbabwe made a spirited start in reply through Modester Mupachikwa (49) and Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano (46), but Vaishnavis spell in the middle overs triggered a collapse as the visitors were bowled out for 207 in 48.5 overs. Vaishnavi, who came into the playing eleven in place of the rested Kranti Gaud, ripped through the Zimbabwe line-up to finish with impressive figures of 4-39 from her 10 overs. Deepti then returned in the death overs to pick up 3-32 and round off a commanding all-round display. Apart from Vaishnavi and Deepti, Jintimani Kalita, Sayali Satghare and N Sree Charani picked a scalp each. After electing to bat first, India were off to a shaky start. Nomvelo Sibanda struck in the very first over when Smriti Mandhana went for an ill-judged pull off a short, wide delivery and was caught at short third. Sibanda claimed her second scalp when Shafali Verma (8) pulled one low towards midwicket, where Nyasha Gwanzura held a sharp catch inches off the ground, a decision upheld by the TV umpire. With India at 19/2, Harmanpreet and Pratika set about repairing the damage with a 124-run third-wicket partnership. Harmanpreet looked in control with her back-foot and off-side shots, while taking a liking to Sibanda and Tendai Makusha and finding the boundary ropes with a series of crisp drives and cuts. Pratika, who looked pristine, struck the first six of the match by lofting Makusha over long-on in the 10th over. The pair brought up Indias hundred in the 16th over, before Pratika completed her half-century off 57 balls and celebrated by stepping out to loft Loryn Phiri for a six straight down the ground. An over later, Harmanpreet reached her fifty off 51 deliveries. Zimbabwes fielding effort was also hit by injuries, with Mugeri-Tiripano hurting her right knee and captain Josephine Nkomo leaving the field after a diving stop. Nyasha finally broke the third-wicket stand in the 23rd over when Pratika, who was dropped on 59, swept straight into the hands of deep midwicket. She made 61 off 67 balls, laced with four boundaries and two sixes. Leg-spinner Olinder Chare struck in the next over, as Tejal Hasabnis (3) skied a slog-sweep to mid-on. Harmanpreet, who was dropped on 66 by Nkomo at short midwicket, and Deepti then steadied the innings. After Harmanpreet cut Nyasha for four, Deepti cashed in on some wayward bowling down the leg side, sweeping repeatedly to the fine-leg boundary while also cutting and pulling to race to 45 off 35 balls, with Harmanpreet unbeaten on 88 off as many balls at the second drinks break. Deepti then brought up her fifty off 37 balls in the 35th over by sweeping a Sibanda full toss past square leg. Harmanpreet, meanwhile, moved through the nineties with a classy drive through extra cover off Makusha before completing her century off 101 balls with a fine sweep off Beloved Biza in the 41st over. It was her eighth ODI hundred, but Harmanpreet kept her celebration low-key - settling for a handshake with Deepti as the Indian dressing room rose to applaud. Zimbabwes woes in the field continued, with Harmanpreet getting two more lives. Michelle Mavunga failed to hold on to a diving chance at long-on, while Nomvelo spilled a chance at backward point. The pair helped India race past 300 in the 46th over before Michelle finally ended Harmanpreets stay by luring her into a big hit with a slower, fuller delivery that was caught by at long-off. Harmanpreet, who hit 15 boundaries in her 121-ball 126, walked back to a standing ovation from her teammates. Her 153-run stand with Deepti is now India womens highest partnership for the fifth wicket or lower in ODIs, eclipsing the 122-run association between Sneh Rana and Pooja Vastrakar against Pakistan in the 2022 ODI World Cup. Richa Ghosh (7) fell soon after, holing out to long-on off a Tendai full toss in the 48th over. Deepti, however, made sure India finished strongly. She reached her second ODI hundred off 83 balls her first ton since 2017 - in the final over by sweeping Tendai between short fine leg and square leg, and remained unbeaten on 106 off 86 balls, laced with 15 boundaries. The sweep alone fetched her 36 runs, including eight boundaries. Deeptis 83-ball century is the fifth fastest ton by an India womens batter in ODIs, and she also became the first Indian woman to score a hundred at number six or lower, bettering Richas 94 coming against South Africa in the 2025 ODI World Cup in Visakhapatnam. Zimbabwe made a bright start to the chase as Modester cracked two boundaries off the first two balls from Sayali. The Indian seamers struggled with their lines early on as Modester continued to cash in on anything short or on the pads. But India struck through spin in the ninth over when Charani had Loryn Phiri (6) caught by short midwicket and end a 38-run opening stand. Chipo then took the attack to the spinners, hitting three fours in a Charani over. She added 69 for the second wicket with Modester before Sayali got a breakthrough in the 23rd over by castling her for 46 through the gate with one that nipped back in. Vaishnavi, who bowled slower through the air, then turned the game decisively in Indias favour. Switching to over the wicket, the left-arm spinner picked up her maiden ODI wicket when Modester fell one short of a fifty, as she sliced straight to backward point. Beloved Biza (34) tried to keep Zimbabwe in the hunt with some aggressive strokes against the spinners, but was trapped lbw by Vaishnavi after India successfully reviewed the decision. Vaishnavi then bowled Michelle Mavunga (3) with a classic flighted delivery that clipped the top of off-stump. Zimbabwe skipper Josephine Nkomo, who survived a dropped chance by wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh, was also undone by Vaishnavis flight and was trapped lbw for 20 with the DRS failing to save her. Nyasha Gwanzura briefly entertained with the first six of the Zimbabwe innings, but Deepti trapped her lbw, while having Nomvelo Sibanda edged the next ball to slip. Though Deepti missed out on a hat-trick, she returned to dismiss Tendai Makusha with a leading edge to backward point. Jintimani wrapped up the innings in the 49th over and also got her first ODI wicket when Chiedza Dhururu chipped straight to cover, as India got another comprehensive win. Brief Scores: India 328/6 in 50 overs (Harmanpreet Kaur 126, Deepti Sharma 106 not out; Nomvelo Sibanda 2-38, Nyasha Gwanzura 1-43) beat Zimbabwe 207 all out in 48.5 overs (Modester Mupachikwa 49, Chipo Mugari-Tiripano 46; Vaishnavi Sharma 4-39, Deepti Sharma 3-32) by 121 runs

Super Sukhoi: India, Russia Test New Fighter Jet As IAF Weighs Su-30 Upgrade With New Engine & Radar
India is not retiring its Su-30MKI. It is being rebuilt for future combat. Russian and Indian crews have just flown the more advanced Su-30SM2 during Indra 2026 exercises in Russias Chelyabinsk region, training against small, low-flying targets and practising intercepts. India is now considering a deep modernisation of its massive Su-30 fleet under the Super Sukhoi initiative, with better engines, longer range, new missiles and sharper combat performance. The first batch could cover 84 aircraft, with more than 200 additional fighters to follow, and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited is expected to play a central role. Estimates put the new engines thrust at about 142 kilonewtons, against 123 for the existing AL-31FP. We compare the Su-30MKI and Su-30SM2 on engines, thrust, radar, and weapons, and explain why an engine swap is not plug-and-play. Is this a routine exercise or a preview of Indias biggest fighter overhaul in years? Shreya Chandra gives the full breakdown. Subscribe for more defence news.

2nd ODI: Harmanpreet Credits Stand With Pratika, Deeptis magic For Posting 328/6 Against Zimbabwe
Veteran India: Veteran India batter Harmanpreet Kaur said her 124-run third-wicket partnership with Pratika Rawal laid the foundation for Indias recovery in the second ODI against Zimbabwe, before Deepti Sharmas magic ensured the hosts reached 328/6. Harmanpreet, who top-scored with 126 off 121 balls, laced with 15 boundaries, further said batting in the day after a long run of evening matches had made batting conditions tough, especially after India lost Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma inside three overs. It wasnt easy conditions. Nowadays we play a lot of night games. After a long time playing under the sun, difficult conditions to bat in. After losing two wickets, Pratika and I had a very good partnership and then Deepti did the magic on the pitch, Harmanpreet said to broadcasters at the innings break. The former India captain shared a record 153-run stand for the fifth wicket with Deepti, who hit 106 not out off 86 balls, laced with 15 boundaries, and said she was happy to take a back seat and rotate the strike as the off-spin bowling all-rounder found the boundary with ease at the other end. When somebody just came in and is getting boundaries, your job is to take single and keep giving strike. Good to see that she was taking responsibility and good to watch her from the other end, said Harmanpreet. Harmanpreet, who was dropped three times while making her eighth ODI hundred, added that the pitch did not play true early on and the focus was on staying at the crease. It wasnt a true wicket. Initially was holding a bit. Idea was to keep batting and keep holding your shape. That gave us the result today. I just want to enjoy myself on the field. Key is to keep batting and keep enjoying myself. Good thing is that Im hitting the ball well, she said. Reflecting on her partnership with Pratika, who made 61 off 67 balls, Harmanpreet credited the Zimbabwe bowlers for their early discipline and said the two right-handed batters had worked out a clear plan to rebuild the innings. Initially they were bowling well, hitting good areas. Pratika and I had good communication that we have to build our innings. We have to see which balls we have to take charge and which balls to give respect. That partnership gave us confidence to build the innings, she added.
