Summary
- India's top order collapsed in the first T20 against Zimbabwe.

India's women's cricket team faced a significant challenge in the first T20 International against Zimbabwe, ultimately securing a narrow four-wicket victory.
The Indian top order struggled during the powerplay, with captain Smriti Mandhana and other key batters dismissed for low scores. This fragility was exploited by Zimbabwe's spinner Nyasha Gwanzura, who took three wickets early on.
