Mithali Raj-led Railways defeat Jharkhand to lift National Women’s One Day title

Mithali Raj-led Railways made light work of the 168 run target that Jharkhand posted in the finals of National One Day Championships and won a record-extending 12th title.

Out of 14 editions of the event, Railways have gone on to win 12 titles, that’s been the kind of dominance they have had over the event.

On Sunday, they chased down the target of 168 in only 37 overs and without needing their best batter Mithali Raj to even come out from the cooler confines of the dressing



room.

India international Punam Raut's patient 59 off 94 balls laid the platform for all-rounder Sneh Rana to finish the game in a jiffy, smashing 34 not out off 22 balls.

Apart from her breezy knock, Rana was also the most successful Railways bowler taking 3 for 34 with her handy off-breaks.

It was a thoroughly professional performance in all departments from Railways after Jhakhand opted to bat. As many as six Jharkhand batters couldn't cross the double figures while three couldn't even open their accounts.
