Impressive performance by captain Subhra Nirjharini Swain and allrounder Taranna Pradhan went in vain as Odisha lost to Bengal by 13 runs in their Elite Group-A match of the BCCI Womens Under-19 One-day Tournament at NFRSA Ground in Guwahati today. This was the fifth defeat in seven matches for Odisha.
Taranna bagged four wickets as Odisha restricted Bengal to 138 for eight after opting to field. But chasing 139 for victory, Odisha could make 125 for nine despite fine knock of 56 (101 balls, 4x4, 1x6) by Subhra.
