The women-only record snapshot
As checked on 17 October 2026, the women’s T20I ledger for Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium contains one completed match: India Women vs Zimbabwe Women on 16 October. This page records that match only. It excludes men’s, IPL, ODI, domestic games and the scheduled 18 October second T20I.
Only the 16 October 2026 opener is in the checked women-only venue ledger.
India Women’s chase in 15.4 overs; highest completed innings in this sample.
Deepti Sharma, from 37 balls in the opener.
Nyasha Gwanzura’s three wickets in three overs for Zimbabwe Women.
Reading the numbers: the ledger has one match but two completed team innings. India’s 15.4 overs equals 94 legal balls, not 15.4 decimal overs. The figures below are venue records for this checked women-only sample, not career records.
One completed result, one clear baseline
| Date | First innings | Score | Overs | Result | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zimbabwe Women | 114/5 | 20 overs | India Women won by 4 wickets with 26 balls remaining | BCCI match details |
Team totals: the highest score is 116/6
India’s 116/6 is the highest women’s team total in the checked ledger. Zimbabwe’s 114/5 is both the only first-innings score and the highest first-innings total. Across the two completed innings, teams scored 230 runs and lost 11 wickets.
| Team | Innings status | Total | Length | Runs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zimbabwe Women | First innings | 114/5 | 20 overs | 114 |
| India Women | Chase | 116/6 | 15.4 overs (94 balls) | 116 |
The opener’s memorable turn: 19/4 to 116/6
India were 19/4 before Deepti Sharma’s 49 from 37 balls and Niki Prasad’s unbeaten 39 from 35 rebuilt the chase. Zimbabwe’s 114/5 looked defendable until India reached 116/6 in 15.4 overs, completing the only recorded women’s chase at the ground so far. The result is useful context for the record book, but one recovery does not promise the same script in the next match.

Chasing record context, without overreading it
India won the opener while chasing 115.
No completed women’s match in this ledger has yet been won batting first.
There is no tie or no-result entry in the one-match sample.
A single chase win is a result, not a meaningful venue-wide probability. The next completed women’s T20I will change these counts; it is intentionally kept outside this dated snapshot until it is played and verified.
For a separate dated men’s-match boundary example, read the Raipur stadium boundary reference; it is not a women’s record and does not establish the current rope placement.
