Railways Defeat Jharkhand To Win National Women's One Day Title

The formidable Indian Railways once again annexed the National One Day Championships title with a crushing seven-wicket victory over Jharkhand in the final, on Sunday. Out of 14 editions of National One Dayers, Railways women have won 12 titles in as many appearances in the summit clash, which is a testimony to their dominance in women's cricket. Such was Railways' control on the proceedings that they chased the paltry target of 168 in only 37 overs and without needing their best batter Mithali Raj to even come out from the cooler confines of the dressing room.

India international Punam Raut's patient 59 off 94 balls laid the platform for all-rounder Sneh Rana to finish the game in a jiffy, smashing 34 not out off 22 balls.

Apart from her breezy knock, Rana was also the most successful Railways bowler taking 3 for 34 with her handy off-breaks.
