    "editor1": "<p><strong>IND-W vs ZIM-W 2nd T20I<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Cricket<\/strong>&nbsp;<strong>Tips<\/strong>:&nbsp;Smriti Mandhana has a winning start to his captaincy tenure for India&#39;s women&#39;s team. Team India beat Zimbabwe Women by four wickets in the first game in Raipur and have taken a lead in the series. Though many expected India to roll over, but it was a hard-fought win.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Indian bowlers did a great job to restrict the visitors to 114, with Nandani Sharma (2\/11) bowling well. But the Indian top order failed miserably, and they were at 19\/4 at one stage. But an 82-run stand between Niki Prasad (39* off 35) and Deepti Sharma (49 off 37) put India back. The second game will begin at 7 PM IST on Sunday in Raipur.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>IND-W vs ZIM-W: Match Details<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>Date<\/strong>: October 18, 2026 (Sunday)<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Time<\/strong>: 7:00 PM IST<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>Venue<\/strong>: Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium, Raipur<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n<h4><strong>IND-W vs ZIM-W: Live Streaming DetailsI<\/strong><\/h4>\r\n\r\n<p>ndian fans can tune onto Star Sports Networks for the live telecast of the game.
