Though, it was not a good outing for Sarla Devi, who was instrumental in North Zone’s victory in her first outing against South Zone on the other day, yet Chitra bowled well and took 2 important wickets, however, she was unlucky to be run out when shaping well with the bat.
Though, it was a one-sided affair as East Zone thrashed North Zone by a big margin of 194 runs, yet it was a great day for Jammu and Kashmir for the fact that two of its players found place in the Playing XI of this prestigious tournament.
