Misery continued for Odisha in the BCCI U-23 Womens One-Day Tournament as they lost to host Andhra by five wickets in their fourth Elite Group-A match at ACA Stadium in Mangalagiri today. This was the fourth successive defeat for Odisha.

Put into bat, Odisha were sent packing for a paltry 45 with only two batsmen _ Poonam Nayak and Indrani Chhatria _ able to reach double figure. Though Andhra experienced top-order batting failure, an unbeaten 20 by A Sireesha helped them clinch win, losing five wickets in the process.
