Pratika Rawal slammed her third 50-overs century after Shree Charani recorded career-best figures of 4-23 as India thrashed Zimbabwe by nine wickets in the opening women’s ODI of their three-match series here on Friday.

After Charani’s exploits helped India bowl out Zimbabwe for a mere 197, Pratika made the most of her promotion to the opening slot, smacking an unbeaten 100 not out. India went over the line making 200-1 in 27.1 overs, with skipper Smriti Mandhana (32) and vice-captain Shafali Verma (64 not out) also chipping in.
