A Hapless Zimbabwe was thrashed by nine wickets by India in a Group A match of the ICC Women's World Cup Qualifier in Colombo on Monday..

Zimbabwe won the toss and elected to bat but were demolished for a meagre 60 in 28.5 overs.

The Lady Chevrons struggled throughout their innings with only Mary-Anne Musonda (26) and Precious Marange (12) managing double digit scores eves as four batters failed to open their account.

The chase turned out to be a cakewalk for the Indians as Mithali Raj’s team took just nine overs to overwhelm the target for the loss of just one wicket.

Precious Marange dismissed opener Veda Krishnamurthy the lone Indian wicket to fall, after playing a quick 29-run knock off 16 deliveries.

Mona Meshram (21 not out) and Harmanpreet Kaur (11 not out) guided Indian women home without any further damage.

The result means that Zimbabwe women head back home with one victory, a 36 run win over Thailand on Friday.
