The Bengal Women’s Pro T20 League 2025 has been a thrilling showcase of emerging talent, but this season as the tournament nears to an end, frequent rain interruptions have played spoilsport. Several matches have been either abandoned or reduced mid-game, drastically impacting the flow of the tournament.
Match 27: Servotech Siliguri Strikers Women vs Murshidabd Kueens Women
In a rain-curtailed clash reduced to just 5 overs per side, the Siliguri Strikers were put to the test with the bat. Their innings got off to a rocky start as captain Priyanka Bala was dismissed for a duck. But Tithi Swarpan Das stood tall amidst the collapse, playing a fighting knock of 34* off 18 balls, showcasing composure and clean hitting.
Sneha Gupta chipped in with a brisk 6 off 3, but the rest of the lineup folded for single-digit scores. The Strikers managed to post 45/5 in 5 overs. For the Kueens, Jahanvi Raj Paswan was the standout performer, returning excellent figures of 3/15 in her 2 overs, applying pressure throughout.
In response, the Murshidabad Kueens came out all guns blazing. Trishita Sarkar led the charge with a fluent 20* off just 9 balls, well-supported by Tanusree Sarkar, who remained unbeaten on 5* off 2. The Kueens raced to 29/1 in just 2.4 overs before rain once again played spoilsport, forcing the match to be called off.
Match 28: Shrachi Rarh Tigers Women vs Lux Shyam Kolkata Tigers Women
Batting first in a truncated 10-over contest, Shrachi Rarh Tigers posted a modest total of 77/6. Their top order struggled under pressure, with Parama Mondal (9), Brishti Susanta Majhi (7), and skipper Piyali Ghosh (7) all falling cheaply. The innings found some stability due to Priya Pandey, who played a patient knock of 17 off 19 balls. She partnered with Priti Mondal for a crucial 32-run stand, with Mondal finishing unbeaten on 18* off 10, helping the Tigers put up a fighting total.
With the ball, Salma Khatoon stood out, delivering a tight spell of 3/13 in 2 overs. In reply, the chase for 78 started on the back foot.
