Free Entry for Female Spectators at India-Zimbabwe Women's T20Is in Raipur
Female spectators will receive free entry to the three women's T20I matches between India and Zimbabwe at Raipur's Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium, following a suggestion by Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai. The series, starting October 16, marks Smriti Mandhana's first full-time captaincy and is Zimbabwe's first bilateral series against India. Matches begin at 7 pm during Navratri, with officials encouraging strong female attendance to enhance the festive atmosphere. The teams will later play ODIs in Vadodara.
