Maharashtra faced a 6-wicket defeat at the hands of
Hyderabad women in the Elite Group match of senior women’s one day tournament. Posting
134-7 on board, Maharashtra’s batting was shouldered by Shweta Mane (34*),
Anuja Patil (26) and Smriti Mandhana (25). Skipper Naidu made use of eight
bowlers in the game, seven of them picking one wicket apiece.
After the initial blow, when Shweta Mane got rid of Sneha
More (0), there was no looking back by Hyderabad women. Other Maharashtra
bowlers could not capitalize on the dream start provided by Mane. Shalini (44)
and Ramya (31) chipped in at the right time to create a strong foundation for
the batters to follow. Senior player Diana David (35) contributed with the bat
to see her team home. Hyderabad chased down the target in 42.1 overs keeping
their hopes alive in the tournament.
