Senior Women's One Day League: Elite Group A Round-up

Shivi Pandey has been in phenomenal form this tournament

Chhattisgarh Women's Cricket Team (3 Wins in 5 Matches)

Shivi Pandey, Shalini, and Manpreet Kaur are the three names whom Chhattisgarh Women's Cricket Team owe their success this tournament. There are other names as well, but these three players would be having their names written all over on any scorecard you pick up of Chhattisgarh.

In a group game against Goa Women, Chhattisgarh set a 175 runs target. Goa women couldn't chase in 50 overs and fell short 26 runs. As the game got over, players shook their hands and headed back to the pavilion for snacks or team meetings. But it was different for the Chhattisgarh women. Rather than, going for a cool down they were up for another training session. The session was not a forceful one only the interested candidates were asked to join the coach. Such is their determination. Cricket, Cricket, and Only Cricket.

Despite winning the Associate Championships in 2009-10, they were denied the opportunity to participate for the next four years. In between, Chhattisgarh lost some great players. Embarking upon a new journey since the revival, their journey to the elite group A is nothing less than an inspiration.

Playing very competitive and professional cricket this season Chhattisgarh women have shown the hunger to go further in this tournament. They have 12 points in 5 matches.
