Mumbai locked horns against Maharashtra on 6th
Feb at MCA ground, BKC in the West Zone U-23 women’s cricket tournament match. Having
won the first two matches, Mumbai was high on confidence when they came out to
bat against a strong Maharashtra team. Winning the toss and electing to bat
first, Mumbai was bundled out for 211 just inside 50 overs. Opening
bat-wicketkeeper Hemali Borwankar (79) played an anchor’s role and top scored
for Mumbai. Mugdha Joshi (36) and Humaira Kazi (34) contributed in the middle
order and helped Mumbai cross the 200-run mark. Devika Vaidya was the pick of
the bowlers for Maharashtra as she finished off with the figures of 4-32.
In reply, Maharashtra got off to a good start, courtesy a 59
run opening partnership. After shining with the ball, Devika Vaidya (109) proved
her worth when she single handedly took her team home with an unbeaten century.
Humaira Kazi was the pick of the bowlers picking up 2-40 in her 10 overs.
Mumbai face Gujarat in its last match of the tournament on 8th
Feb at Sachin Tendulkar Gymkhana, Kandivli.
