Srinagar, October 29: J&K on Friday registered second win in the ongoing Senior Women One-Day Trophy at Salt Late Stadium, Kolkata, thanks to top contributions from Ananya Sharma, Bushra Ashraf and Nadia Chaudhary.

Ananya picked a fifer, Bushra scored fighting 31 while Nadia struck unbeaten fifty, ensuring J&K’s win against Arunachal Pradesh.

Earlier, J&K skipper Sandhya Sayal won the toss and elected to bat first. Batting first, J&K lost early wickets and were tottering at 46/6 in 14.2 overs, with almost all the top and middle-order batters back to the pavillion.

However, dependable Bushra Ashraf and gritty all-rounder Nadia Chowdhary salvaged the sinking ship by making a magnificent partnership of 60 runs to take the score to 106 runs, before Bushra was dismissed at her individual score of 31 runs off 87 balls.

Nadia, sent the bowlers on a leather-hunt, while Bushra applied to a perfection and played sensibly. Nadia continued her brilliance and scored splendid 51 runs to help her team put a decent score of 140 runs on the board.

None of the other players could manage to cross the double figure mark. Sheerazah and Sandhya contributed 7 runs each. For Arunachal Pradesh, Runs, S Ligo and B Ritu took 2 wickets each , while Nabam Yapu and Shivi Yadav claimed 1 wicket each.

In reply, Arunachal Pradesh bundled out for 45 runs in 25 overs, thus lost the match by a huge margin of 95 runs. Shivi Yadav (16) and Runa Sarkar (9) were the main contributors.
Almost all the J&K bowlers were on target, hitting good areas and bowling with superb line and length.

Ananaya was the wrecker-in-chief, who took 5 important wickets by conceding 13 runs in her 6 overs, while Sandhya was once again economical, who bowled 8 overs and took 2 important wickets and conceded just 4 runs, while Bismah Hassan once again missed the hat-trick and took two wickets on two consecutive deliveries.

Skipper Sandhya Sayal along with her deputy Bushra Ashraf led from the front in the middle and executed the plans brilliantly.

J&K will face Nagaland in their next outing on October 31 at JU Second Campus, Salt Lake, Kolkata.
