After starting the campaign with a big win against Saurashtra, Odisha suffered back-to-back defeats, going down to Gujarat by five wickets in their third match of the Womens U-15 One Day Trophy Cricket Tournament at Lady Amritbai Daga College Ground in Nagpur (Maharashtra) today.

Opting to bat, Odisha were skittled out for a paltry total of 79, which included 21 extras. In reply, Gujarat struggled at 36 for five before a 46-run unfinished partnership for the sixth wicket between Frenny Chaudhary and captain Faina Parikh guided them to victory. Anwesha Swain was the most successful bowler for Odisha, taking three wickets for 14 runs. Odisha will next meet Andhra at VCA Kalamna in Nagpur on January 8.
