All-rounder Shivani Lokhande played a great role with bat and ball (unbeaten 35 runs, 5 wickets in 17 matches) and this inspired Dr. DY Patil SA to join John Bright Cricket Club in Group A matches. They recorded a 78-run victory against the Reds. The MCA Women's Knockout Cricket Tournament was organized by the Mumbai Cricket Association and was held at the SRT Ground in Kandivali on Monday.
Deciding to bat, DY Patil SA scored a challenging total of 157 for 8 wickets in 35 overs. Shivani and Khushi Thakkar's 49 runs gave momentum to the innings. John Bright bowlers Siddhi Kamte managed to pick up wickets with 2 for 21 and Vaidehi Pohale with 2 for 33.
Shivani then tormented the John Bright batting line-up, taking five wickets and relegating the batsmen to just 79 runs in 23.1 overs, all out, and snatched a convincing victory for his team.
