Disha Kasat blazed an unbeaten 91 off 54 balls to steer Vidarbha to a commanding eight-wicket victory over Delhi in the opening round of the Senior Women's T20 Trophy Super League stage on Saturday, 14 November. The match, played at Narendra Modi Stadium Ground B, also saw defending champions Maharashtra, along with Railways and Karnataka, register wins on a results-packed day.

Disha Kasat's Match-Winning Blitz

Chasing 170, Vidarbha needed a special innings — and Kasat, who is set to represent Mumbai Indians in the 2027 Women's Premier League (WPL), delivered one for the ages. She hammered 10 sixes and two fours, with boundaries accounting for 68 of her 91 runs, underlining the sheer dominance she exercised over the Delhi bowling attack.

Captain Mona Meshram provided the perfect anchor at the other end, remaining not out on 43 off 24 balls. The pair forged an unbroken 106-run third-wicket partnership, with Vidarbha completing the chase in just 17.3 overs. Kasat took home the Player of the Match award.

Earlier, Delhi — who opted to bat after winning the toss — posted 169/5, anchored by an in-form Tanisha Singh who finished unbeaten on 78. Shweta Sherawat chipped in with 35, but the total proved insufficient. For Vidarbha, Yashshri Soley was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2 for 34. Vidarbha face Karnataka next on Monday.

Maharashtra Crush Andhra by 48 Runs

At the Gujarat College Cricket Ground 'A', Smriti Mandhana-led Maharashtra made it two wins for the defending champions, defeating Andhra by 48 runs. Maharashtra posted 161/6 in their 20 overs, with Gautami Naik top-scoring with 34. All-rounder Anuja Patil contributed with both bat — scoring 31 — and ball, taking 2 for 22.

In reply, Andhra were restricted to 113/9, with Dnyaneshwari Patil leading the Maharashtra bowling attack with an impressive 3 for 19.

Railways Edge Mumbai in a Tight Chase

Mumbai set a competitive target of 157/9 in 20 overs, powered by Simran Shaikh's 48 and Sanika Chalke's 43. However, Railways off-spin all-rounder Sneh Rana was the wrecker-in-chief with a four-wicket haul of 4 for 28, while Renuka Singh Thakur chipped in with 2 for 19.

In reply, opener Pratika Rawal set the platform with a blistering 86 off 52 balls, striking nine fours and three sixes. Sneh Rana then sealed the win with an unbeaten 37 off 30 balls, as Railways completed the chase with a ball to spare.

Karnataka Dismantle Baroda in 13.3 Overs

Karnataka cruised past Baroda by five wickets, dismissing them for just 137 in 19.4 overs. Off-spinner Shreyanka Patil was the star with 3 for 19, supported by Ananya Hegde's 2 for 26.

The chase was wrapped up in an emphatic 13.3 overs. Vrinda Dinesh set the tone with a stunning 49 off just 16 balls — including four fours and five sixes — while Niki Prasad contributed a brisk 31 off 17 balls to seal a comprehensive win.

With all four fancied sides winning on the opening day of the Super League stage, the Senior Women's T20 Trophy is shaping up to be a fiercely contested affair, with the knockout picture likely to come into sharper focus over the next few days of action.
