Madhusmita in vain as Orissa lose

Captain Madhusmita Behera`s four-wicket haul went in vain as Orissa went down to Jharkhand by 53 runs in a league match of the East Zone Under-19 Women`s Cricket Tournament at Sahid Nirmal Mahato Stadium in Jamshedpur today. Orissa could not capitalise on the advantage of having former India captain Anju Jain as their coach. Brief scores: Jharkhand 202/9 in 50 overs (Nishant 66, Rina 20: Madhusmita Behera 4/49, Kumkum Nayak 2/27) beat Orissa 149/9 in 50 overs (Binoo Sahoo 26, Kumkum Nayak 21: Lalita Tirkey 3/22, A K Dube 2/28).
