Railways women defend the National Championship

Mithali’s ‘Raj’ continued in Indian women’s cricket when Railways emerged victorious against a strong Maharashtra team at Secunderabad. Winning by a margin of 57 runs, Railways registered a comprehensive win over Maharashtra. Skipper Mithali Raj (68) and all-rounder Niranjana Nagarajan (53) helped Railways to post a formidable total of 218-6. Anuja Patil picked up three important wickets but did not receive much support from the other end. Smriti Mandhana (78) had set the stage for Maharashtra but her efforts went in vain when none of the other Maharashtra batswoman could carry the baton till the end. Niranjana Nagarajan (2-31), Sneh Rana (2-29) and Harmanpreet Kaur (2-22) were too good to handle for Maharashtra.
