Host Tripura handed a stunning 19-run defeat to Orissa in a league match of the East Zone Under-19 Women’s Cricket Tournament at Agartala today. Poor batting proved to be the main reason for the defeat and neutralised Orissa’s victory over Jharkhand in the opening match two days ago. Brief scores: Tripura: 108/10 in 48 overs (R Chakraborty 34: Madhusmita Behera 4/8) beat Orissa: 89/10 in 45.5 overs (Sucheta Mohanty27, Madhuri Meheta 21: Annapurna Das 3/14).
