JAMMU, Oct 1: In a commanding performance, Sandhya Gora scored a brisk 61 runs off 50 balls as Hyderabad defeated Jammu and Kashmir by 92 runs in the U-19 Women’s T20 Trophy at Sanosara Cricket Ground-B. Hyderabad, batting first, posted a solid total of 147 runs for 5 wickets in their allotted 20 overs, thanks to Gora’s explosive innings and a strong opening partnership of 90 runs with Kavya, who contributed 38 runs off 31 balls.
Jammu and Kashmir struggled in their chase, managing to score only 55 runs while losing 7 wickets. Only two batters, Alisa Jan and Ridhima Rajput, reached double figures with scores of 11 runs each.
Hyderabad’s bowling attack was impressive, led by Deekshitha, who took 2 wickets for just 4 runs in her 3 overs. Other bowlers, including Kesari Drithi, Vaishnavi Yadav, Jazmine Gill, and Katta, chipped in with one wicket each, effectively dismantling the J&K batting lineup. Looking ahead, Jammu and Kashmir will seek redemption as they face Punjab in their next match at Sanosara Cricket Ground-A tomorrow, aiming to improve their performance in the tournament.
