  "account": "The Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, Vishnu Deo Sai, has suggested allowing free entry for female spectators at all three women's T20I matches between India and Zimbabwe, starting at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Cricket Stadium in Raipur on October 16. The matches are scheduled for October 16, 18, and 20, with each game beginning at 7 pm. This initiative aims to boost the morale of the Indian women's cricket team and inspire young girls, as the Navratri festival is ongoing in Raipur. The CSCS president, Mohan Das, extended the invitation to CSCS members, including Vijay Shah, Mukul Tiwari, Vintesh Agrawal, G S Murthy, Vinay Bajaj, and others. This will be the first time Raipur hosts a women's international match and the first bilateral series between India and Zimbabwe. Following the T20Is, the teams will play a three-match ODI series in Vadodara from October 23 to 28, while Elite Group A matches in Surat will be hosted by CK Pithawala Ground and Lalbhai Contractor Stadium.",
