Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium: Chambal Ghariyals Women opened their campaign in the Madhya Pradesh Women’s League T20 2025 with a confident eight-wicket win over Bundelkhand Bulls Women, sealing the contest via the VJD Method in Match 2 at the Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium on Friday.

Opting to bat first under overcast skies, Bundelkhand Bulls Women showed composure at the top, with openers Aayushi Shukla and Anushka Sharma putting on a solid display. The duo built a steady platform, playing risk-free cricket while rotating the strike and capitalizing on loose deliveries.

Their partnership grew in confidence as the innings progressed, with the pair bringing up a 93-run stand for the first wicket in 13 overs. Just as Anushka Sharma, who top-scored with a fluent 46 off 37 balls, was dismissed, rain made its presence felt and eventually forced an end to the Bulls' innings. Aayushi Shukla remained unbeaten on 37 off 41 balls.
