VIDARBHA defeated Jharkhand by 82 runs to register their second win in Elite Group C of the Under-23 Women’s One-Day Trophy at CAP Ground 3, Pondicherry on Monday. Vidarbha made 228-7 after being asked to bat first. Riddhima Maradwar top-scored with 64 while Mansi Pande made an unbeaten 57. Jharkhand’s chase lacked momentum as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals.

 

Aayushi Thakre claimed three wickets but Dharvi (2-18) was Vidarbha’s best bowler on the day. Dharvi was, in fact on a hat-trick after removing Manshi (23) and Khushbu (0) but narrowly missed the landmark. Brief scores: Vidarbha 228-7 in 50 overs (Arya Pongde 34, Riddhima Maradwar 64, Riddhi Naik 33, Mansi Pande 57 not out). Jharkhand 146-9 in 50 overs (Vrishti Kumari 29 not out; Aayushi Thakre 3-43; Dharvi 2-18, Janhvi 2-20). Result: Vidarbha won by 82 runs.
