India Women set to host Zimbabwe for T20I series opener on Friday
The three-match T20I series in Raipur will kick off Zimbabwe Women's tour of India, followed by ODIs.
The story
With no women's international cricket matches concluded in the past 24 hours, the focus shifts to the upcoming Zimbabwe Women's tour of India. The series is slated to begin on October 16 with the first of three Twenty20 Internationals in Raipur.
Following the T20I leg, the teams will transition to a three-match One Day International series, which is scheduled to commence on October 23 in Vadodara. This tour offers both India Women and Zimbabwe Women valuable international playing time and a chance to refine their team combinations and strategies as they look towards future global tournaments.
