Defending a total of 189, John Bright CC were reduced for mere 60 runs all out in 16.3 overs. It was a collective effort by the bowlers as Sanyukta Kini (3/11), Jahnavi Kate (3/15) & Ulka Patil (2/14) kept on providing breakthroughs at regular intervals not allowing any batsman to settle.

Gay Cavalliers CC won the match by 144 runs while it was Zeal with the bat and some tight bowling by Sanyukta, Jahnavi and Ulka which did the job for the team. A win by 144 runs is also one of the biggest wins in terms of margin in recent times in Women’s Cricket.

It was a tight match where bowlers played a crucial role from both the sides.

It was on the back of some tight bowling by the Sporting Union bowlers that they successfully defended a low total.
