In a scintillating display of team work and good leadership J&K humbled favourite Baroda in its opening match of Senior Women One Day Trophy in the league phase being played at Kolkata. After winning the toss and putting the opponents to bat J&K women bowled out Baroda for 255 in 50 overs. Fine bowling display by Medium pacer Sarla (2), Rubiya Sayed (3), spinners Sandhya (2) and Ananya Sharma (1) & two run outs were responsible for bowling out the entire opposition in the allotted 50 overs.
In reply, J&K lost two early wickets but a solid third wicket stand between opener Bawandeep & skipper Jasia stabilised the innings and kept inching closer to the winning score. Ultimately, a quick knock of 50* by all rounder Rubiya Sayed and a classic century, the Captain's knock by Jasia Akhter 124* enabled J&K to score the winning total of 259/4 in just 44.3 overs.
Commending the effort of the team, Brig Anil Gupta, Member Administration JKCA congratulated the team for an emphatic win and exhorted them to continue the winning streak despite the Group having many tough opponents.
Mithun Manhas, Member Cricket Operations and Development, said that following the processes and maintaining good team work is the key to success and he was happy that our Senior Women Team under its new coach is shaping well. Mr Sunil Sethi also complimented the team's performance.
