## Editorial notes

- Not determined from the source: Whether Zimbabwe won the toss and chose to bat, or were put in - Not determined from the source: Match format, series, venue and match date - Not determined from the source: Farooqi's full name (only the surname is given) - Not determined from the source: Who Farooqi replaces in the Afghanistan XI, and any other Afghanistan changes - Not determined from the source: Reasons for the Zimbabwe changes (injury, form, rotation) - Not determined from the source: Full playing XIs for both sides - Not determined from the source: Any quotations from captains at the toss - Not determined from the source: Any score or result - Flagged: The source contains only a headline, a one-line summary and a publication timestamp (2026-10-23 11:37:00Z), so the draft is necessarily very short. - Flagged: The headline says Zimbabwe 'bat' but does not state who won the toss, so the draft does not say Zimbabwe won it. - Flagged: Only the surname 'Farooqi' is given, so the player's full name has not been supplied. - Flagged: The publication timestamp has not been used as the match date because the source does not state when the match is played.
