Sanika’s Masterclass Sends Aakash Tigers Into T20 Mumbai Women’s League Final
Aakash Tigers Mumbai Western Suburb: Sanika Chalke produced a batting masterclass as Aakash Tigers Mumbai Western Suburb stormed into the final of the inaugural T20 Mumbai Women’s League with a commanding eight-wicket victory over Thane Sky Risers at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Wednesday.
Chasing a modest 114, the Tigers cruised to victory with five overs to spare, thanks largely to Sanika’s unbeaten 74 off 51 deliveries. The opener anchored the chase brilliantly, striking 11 fours and two sixes to ensure there were no late hiccups.
Sanika and Humairaa Kaazi (5) gave the Tigers a steady start, adding 35 runs for the opening wicket before Kashish Nirmal provided the Risers a brief glimmer of hope. The medium pacer struck twice in successive deliveries in the fifth over, dismissing Kaazi and then Sejal Raut for a duck to leave the Tigers at 35/2.
