JU Salt Lake Stadium: The Women's Bengal T20 League witnessed another power-packed action day on Tuesday as Murshidabad Kueens and Rashmi NES Medinipur Wizards picked up important victories at the JU Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata.
Kashish Agarwal top-scored with 43, while captain Tanushree Sarkar played a crucial knock of 39, and Jahanbi Raj Paswaan added a valuable 24. The finishing touches were provided by Prativa Rana, whose unbeaten cameo of 21 came at a blistering strike rate and helped Murshidabad finish strongly. Chandrima Biswas, Diya Nandi, and Supriti Roy were among the wickets for Purulia.
The chase became difficult for Novus Royals Purulia after the early dismissal of skipper Dhara Gujjar. Murshidabad's bowlers kept the pressure on throughout, striking at regular intervals. Toriya Singha Roy stood tall with an unbeaten half-century, scoring 50 off 37 balls. However, her effort was not enough as Novus Royals Purulia fell short of the target. Jahanbi Raj Paswaan delivered an excellent all-round performance with figures of 2/16, while Sinjini Sarkar and Sanaya Mondal also picked up wickets.
