That's it for now. This is Rajarshi Das, signing off on behalf of my co-commentators, Deepak Prakash, Dev Rajawat, and scorer/analyst, Rajesh Pal. See you later!
We now conclude our coverage of this contest. The third and final WT20I will be played at this very venue - the Takashinga Cricket Club - the day after tomorrow. Tune in to Crex at 2:30 PM IST (11:00 AM Local Time) for our coverage of the same, and in the meantime, keep following us for a whole lot more!
Zimbabwe Women have been no match for the West Indies Women thus far in this T20I series. The visitors, with all of their players fresh from playing the Women's Caribbean Premier League, have absolutely steamrolled them so far in this series, after sending the hosts in to bat in both games. Zimbabwe, with little to play for, will be aiming to take some inspiration from their victory in the 2nd WODI earlier in the tour, and finish the series on a high.
Eboni Brathwaite has been adjudged Player of the Match!

6:02 PM IST, 2:32 PM Local Time: As dominant a performance as they come from the West Indies Women! They never gave the hosts a chance as they set off to chase a target of 107. The intent was similar in many ways to the first WT20I, the tone was set well within the powerplay itself, and the hosts, caught like a rabbit in front of headlights, never recovered from the initial onslaught!
Eboni Brathwaite picked up from where she left off in the previous game. Nomvelo Sibanda failed to get her lengths right from the start, spraying two deliveries close to head height, and Brathwaite cleared the boundary twice in the first over, which yielded 16. Kudzai Chigora struck for Zimbabwe Women in the third over, getting Jahzara Claxton to drag on, but Brathwaite continued to be merciless. 23 runs came off her bat in the fourth over as she took Nyasha Gwanzura to the cleaners, and the West Indies were halfway there going into the fifth over.
Brathwaite got to her fifty in the sixth over, but was dismissed with a ball remaining in the powerplay. Realeanna Grimmond, who walked in at the fall of Claxton's wicket, picked up from where Brathwaite left off, going on the charge. She went after Loryn Phiri's off-break in the eighth over, launching two towering sixes over the leg side. An erratic eighth over from Kudzai Chigora - her last of the game - took the visitors within a boundary away from the target, and Stafanie Taylor hit the winning runs with 65 balls remaining.
Earlier today, Zimbabwe showed a lot more intent and purpose with the bat as compared to the first T20I - they finished their powerplay with 39 on the board without losing a wicket as openers Kelis Ndlovu and Beloved Biza got them off to a steady start. While the runs continued to flow in the middle overs as the Zimbabwe batters ran hard between the wickets, they needed to accelerate and find the boundaries more often. Biza looked to kick on, finding the boundary off the first two deliveries of the 13th over from Claxton, but was caught behind off the third. Zimbabwe then suffered a collapse - from 78 for 1, they ended with 106 for 7. No one from the middle order was able to step up and provide Chipo Mugeri-Tiripano good company. Mugeri-Tiripano herself failed to accelerate, running herself out in the last over trying to keep strike.
