Expanding their staggering record, Railways crushed Karnataka by eight wickets in the last on Saturday to win the Womens Senior One Day Trophy, India’s homegrown 50-over rivalry, for the thirteenth time.
Skipper Mithali Raj won the toss in cloudy conditions at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru and chose for field first.
The Karnataka innings basically never got rolling and they were bowled out for 74 of every 38 overs. The star with the ball for Railways was Renuka Singh.
The right-arm pacer was destroying with the new ball and got back with figures of 4/14 from seven overs.
For Karnataka, Niki Prasad, batting at No 8, was the top-scorer with 21 runs from 72 conveyances.
In answer, opener S Meghana got a 43-ball 36 to set up the pursuit for Railways. Nuzhat Parween (20 off 38) and D Hemalatha (17 off 23) then, at that point, stayed unbeaten to agree with their stance to triumph in 22.2 overs.
The tournament has had 15 completed releases, with Railways winning it 13 times and not figuring out how to arise as champions on only two seasons.
