The wait is finally over. Bengal’s wait for a title at the national level finally ended on Tuesday as the Women’s Under-15 team displayed a brilliant all-round performance to outclass Punjab by 47 runs in the summit clash to emerge champions in the One-Day Trophy.
Adrija Sarkar (62 off 63 balls) was awarded the player of the final for her superb batting. Toriya Singha Roy (43 off 68), skipper Sandipta Patra (22 not out, 2-11), Debjani Das (2-23), Snigdha Bag (1-22) were the other star performers for Bengal in the final.
Opting to bat, Bengal posted a challenging 157/8 in 35 overs, thanks to a superb 116-run opening stand between Adrija and Toriya.
In reply, Punjab lost wickets and succumbed under pressure, falling short of the target, scoring just 110/6 in 35 overs.
