Female Fans Get Free Entry for India-Zimbabwe Women's T20I Series in Raipur
Female spectators will receive free entry to all three India-Zimbabwe women's T20I matches in Raipur, following a suggestion by Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai. The matches, starting October 16 at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium, mark Raipur's first women's international cricket event and the beginning of Smriti Mandhana's full-time captaincy. The initiative coincides with Navratri celebrations, aiming to boost attendance and support for the Indian team. The series will be followed by ODIs in Vadodara.
