Kiran Navgire continued her dream run in the Plate Group as her unbeaten 91 single-handedly helped Nagaland quell Pondicherry’s challenge.

Priya Punia’s unbeaten 74 allows Delhi to cross the line

Opener Priya Punia followed up on her 44* in the first match with 74*(off 62 balls) against Chandigarh. Chandigarh had lost only one wicket in their innings but could only manage 134 runs. Chasing 135 to win, Punia paced her knock well as Delhi won with three balls to spare.

Sneh Rana-led Railways secured their second win of the tournament as they defeated Karnataka by 34 runs. Electing to bat first, Railways got off to a quick start, courtesy of S.Meghana (29 off 19 balls). Off-spinner Chandu had her stumped, and she went on to take a fifer. 

Wicket-keeper Nuzhat Parween scored a fluent 55 to get the team’s score to 155/7 in 20 overs. In reply, Karnataka lost wickets at regular intervals, with another failure for skipper Veda Krishnamurthy.
