Chambal Ghariyals continued their dominant run in the women's division of the Madhya Pradesh League (MPL) T20 Scindia Cup 2026, romping to a 9-wicket win over Royal Nimar Eagles in a rain-curtailed, seven-overs-per-side fixture at Daly College, Indore, on 5 June 2026. In the day's second match, Gwalior Shernis edged out Bhopal Wolves by 2 runs in a nail-biting finish at the same venue.

Chambal Ghariyals Overpower Eagles

Chambal Ghariyals won the toss and chose to bowl, making an immediate impression by reducing Royal Nimar Eagles to 26/2 within the first three overs. Kalyani Jadhav and Soniya Singh then steadied the Eagles' innings, adding a 26-run partnership in three overs to restore momentum.

Kalyani contributed a brisk 23 off 15 balls before being caught by Pooja Vastrakar — who has represented India at the international level — off the bowling of Vaishnavi Singh. Soniya remained unbeaten on 14 off 11 deliveries as the Eagles posted 62/3 in their allotted seven overs. Anamika Raghuvanshi was the standout bowler, returning figures of 1 for 11 in two overs.

In reply, Kanishka Thakur set the tone immediately, plundering 16 runs off the opening over. A brief setback followed when Jincy George was stumped off Vaishnavi Sharma for just 2, but it barely dented the Ghariyals' momentum. Kanishka, the left-handed batter, remained in complete control throughout, finishing unbeaten on 46. Captain Pooja Vastrakar provided composed support with an unbeaten 15 off 14 balls as the Ghariyals sealed the chase in 5.4 overs.

Gwalior Shernis Build a Strong Total

Gwalior Shernis posted a competitive 134/3 in 20 overs, anchored by captain Nuzhat Parween and Sonam Yadav. Opener Aashna Patidar contributed a quick 18 off 13 balls in a 31-run opening stand with Parween before departing.

Parween and Sonam then combined for a crucial 70-run partnership that put Gwalior firmly in command. Parween anchored the innings with a measured 50 off 48 deliveries, while Sonam narrowly missed a half-century, falling one run short. Soumya Tiwari added the finishing flourish with an unbeaten 12 off 10 balls.

Wolves Fall 2 Runs Short in a Thriller

Chasing 135, Bhopal Wolves were kept under constant pressure by the Gwalior bowling attack. Opener Aayushi Shukla tried to anchor the chase but was dismissed for 29 off 29 balls. Rishita Parihar injected late urgency with a rapid 25 off 9 deliveries, only to be stumped by captain Nuzhat Parween off Jiya Jethwa's bowling.

The match reached a dramatic climax when Bhopal needed 7 runs off the final over. Parween effected a sharp stumping to dismiss Reena Yadav, leaving the Wolves requiring 6 runs with one wicket remaining. Riya Yadav then bowled out Priyanka Koushal to bowl Bhopal Wolves out for 132, sealing a 2-run victory for the Shernis. Riya finished with outstanding figures of 4 for 19 in 3.4 overs, while Khushi Yadav took 3 for 18 in four overs.
