Our Girls Have Made Us Proud In Entire India, Says DDCA Secretary After Women’s One-day Trophy Win
DDCA President Rohan Jaitley: Fourteen years is a long time to wait for a trophy, and Delhi looked determined to end that long drought. After bowling out a formidable Railways for just 132 in the final of the Senior Women’s One-Day Trophy at the IS Bindra Stadium in Mohali, Delhi completed the chase with a ruthlessness that had defined their entire campaign -- knocking off the target in under 29 overs, seven wickets in hand, 21.3 overs to spare.
By the time opener Priya Punia hit a commanding 76 off 90 balls, after Parunika Sisodia shone with a three-fer, the Senior Women's One-Day Trophy was already theirs. "Look, we are very happy. It's been many years since we have had this happy occasion in Delhi. Our girls have made us proud in the whole of India. The base for this was laid last year because last year we were U23 (T20) champions. Before that, we were U23 runners-up.
“So those same girls have come in the third year and made us national champions. It's a very happy thing because the women's cricket team will help build a great reputation and bright future outlook for DDCA,” said a beaming Ashok Sharma, DDCA Secretary, to IANS at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Saturday.
