Cuttack women win 3rd successive inter-district cricket title

Host Cuttack achieved a creditable hat-trick by winning the Women`s Inter-District Cricket Tournament for the third time in a row, defeating Bolangir in the final by six runs at Nimpur ground here today. Cuttack captain Madhusmita Behera starred in the triumph, hitting a 72-ball 47 and taking three wickets for 22 runs.
Her 80-run alliance for the opening wicket with Lima Mishra helped Cuttack make a modest total of 119. In reply, Bolangir could make 113 for seven in 50 overs. Bolangir were in deep trouble after losing three wickets for 19 runs and never recovered despite a belligerent stand worth 72 runs between Rasanara Parbin and Rajeswari Nag.
Earlier in the semifinals on Wednesday, Cuttack rode on Madhusmita Behera’s four-wicket haul to beat Dhenkanal by 16 runs, while international Madhuri Meheta’s fine allround performance enabled Bolangir defeat Bhubaneswar by 29 runs.
