Veteran Mithali Raj’s run-a-ball 51 wasn’t enough as India Blue lost to India Red by seven runs in a rain-curtailed Women’s T20 Challenger Trophy opener, near here, today.
India Blue scored a modest 100 for 8 in 20 overs and the Reds were 79 for 3 in 16.3 overs when the play was stopped due to an inclement weather. However Reds were declared the winner as per VJD rule.
Batting first, India Blue had a batting collapse despite Mithali holding the fort at one end with wickets falling like ninepins on the other.
The Indian ODI captain hit seven boundaries and a six. The next highest score was 12 by VR Vanitha (12).
India international Deepti Sharma took 2 for 15 in four overs and then opened the batting to score 45 off 44 balls with six boundaries.
