Warangal claims title

HYDERABAD, OCT.24. Warangal won the Inter-district sub-junior women's cricket tournament for Merupala Anantharamloo Goud Memorial Cup by virtue of better run-rate against Kurnool in the final interrupted by rain here on Sunday.

Batting first, Kurnool scored 137 for eight in 30 overs with B.V.Satyavani (57, 4 x 4) being the top-scorer.

In reply, Warangal was 110 for eight in 23.3 overs when rain forced abandonment of any further play. However, by virtue of better run-rate it was declared champion.

Special prizes were given to Shalini of Hyderabad (best batswoman), Shilpa of Chittoor (best bowler), B.V.Satyavani of Kurnool (player of the tournament) and Sowmya Somanchi of Ranga Reddy (best upcoming player).

The scores:

Kurnool 137 for eight in 30 overs (B.V.Satyavani 57) lost to Warangal 110 for eight in 23.3 overs. By virtue of better run-rate after rain stopped play.
