Shillong, Nov 26: Meghalaya defeated Manipur by 19 runs in their second match of the U-23 Women’s T20 Trophy 2025-26 plate group in Agartala on Tuesday.
Reduced to 9 overs a side, Suriti Kumari Ray’s 33 not out led Meghalaya to post 69/5 and they were then able to bowl out Manipur for 50 in 8.5 overs. Manipur’s Niruta top-scored in the chase with 11 before she was dismissed by Nerisa Nongrum (2/21), who also dismissed Barkatun for 9. Sara D Kharbani (1/5) claimed the wicket of Kebriya, who was out for a duck.
Apart from these, the remaining seven wickets all fell to run outs as Manipur searched in vain for the required runs. Indariakor Kharwanniang accounted for three run outs alone, while Ritreki Pohshna, Janika Marak, Abiezer Kharsyiem and Suriti were responsible for one each.
Meghalaya lost their opening match to Pondicherry by 140 runs on Monday but this win against Manipur is a result that the team can build on going forwards. Meghalaya will next face Arunachal Pradesh on Thursday.
