In a bid to salvage their innings, Ananya Dubey and Mahi Thakur formed a crucial partnership, adding 67 runs for the sixth wicket. Their efforts helped stabilize the innings after a rocky start.

However, the momentum shifted when Kanishka, now the holder of the Orange cap, was dismissed on the second last ball of the powerplay for 23 runs off 18 balls. A couple of quick wickets followed, putting the Ghariyals under pressure as they found themselves at 80 for 4.

With the match hanging in the balance, Rahila Firdous and Anamika Raghuwanshi rose to the occasion, providing the necessary stability. They batted carefully, ensuring no further setbacks and guiding their team to victory.
