Mumbai’s women’s cricket team showcased their dominance in the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy, crushing Bengal by a commanding 10 wickets in the final held at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The victory marked a resounding triumph for the Mumbai side, who displayed an all-round performance that left their opponents trailing in their wake.
Bengal’s batting lineup struggled to find their footing against Mumbai’s formidable bowling attack. Dhara Gujjar’s valiant effort of 26 runs off 38 balls proved to be a solitary bright spot for the Bengal team. Mumbai’s Jagravi Pawar emerged as the star of the show, claiming an impressive 3/13 from her four overs, while Soumya Singh chipped in with 2/11. Sayali Satghare and Fatima Jaffer also contributed with one wicket each.
The Mumbai batters, in contrast, made light work of the Bengal bowling attack. Humaira Kaazi led the charge with an unbeaten 41 off 36 balls, including five fours and a six. Vrushali Bhagat provided solid support, scoring an unbeaten 45 off 39 balls with six fours. The Mumbai duo’s clinical batting performance ensured that they chased down the meager target of 86 runs in just 12.3 overs without losing a single wicket.
Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) president Ajinkya Naik hailed the team’s triumph, announcing that the organization would match the BCCI’s prize money of Rs 40 lakh. “This win inspires every young women cricketer in Mumbai to dream big and strive for excellence,” Naik said in a statement.
