Gwalior Shernis vs Bhopal Wolves: A Nail-Biter

In the day's second fixture, also at Daly College, Indore, Gwalior Shernis clinched a tense 2-run victory over Bhopal Wolves in a match that went down to the final delivery. Gwalior posted a competitive 134/3 in 20 overs, anchored by a stellar batting display from captain Nuzhat Parween and Sonam Yadav.

Opener Aashna Patidar gave the Shernis a brisk start with 18 off 13 balls, sharing a 31-run opening stand with Parween before her dismissal.

Parween anchored beautifully, scoring a composed 50 off 48 deliveries, while Sonam narrowly missed her own half-century, falling just one run short. Soumya Tiwari added the finishing flourish with an unbeaten 12 off 10 balls.

Bhopal's Chase Falls Just Short

Bhopal Wolves mounted a spirited chase but the Gwalior bowling attack struck at regular intervals, never allowing the Wolves to seize control. Opener Aayushi Shukla fought hard, scoring 29 off 29 balls, before her resistance was ended. Rishita Parihar then launched a quickfire 25 off 9 deliveries, but was stumped by captain Nuzhat Parween off the bowling of Jiya Jethwa to halt the momentum.

The match reached its decisive moment in the final over, with Bhopal needing 7 runs from the last six balls. Parween's sharp stumping of Reena Yadav left the Wolves requiring 6 runs with just one wicket remaining. Riya Yadav then bowled Priyanka Koushal to dismiss Bhopal for 132, sealing a thrilling win for Gwalior. Riya finished with figures of 4 wickets for 19 runs in 3.4 overs, while Khushi Yadav claimed 3 for 18 in four overs.
