Jemimah Rodrigues (185*) on fire while Saniya (5/19) wrecks havoc with the ball in the semi-finals of MCA U23 ODI Tournament’19
There is something about this girl which makes her stand apart from everyone, there is something inside her which makes her one of the very best batswoman at present in India. The way Jemimah has been piling on runs, it feels surreal to an extent and her consistency is something which can make even Virat Kohli sit back and notice!
After batting the whole 50 overs opening the innings and scoring an unbeaten ton in the quarter-finals, Jemimah is not done yet as this time she goes on to score her career best 185*. Mumbai after opting to bat first scored 263/4 in 50 overs and once again Jemimah scored more than half of the team runs. Throughout the tournament, she batted with composure but in the semis, she went all guns blazing playing aggressive taking mere 139 balls to score a scintillating 185*laced with 29 boundaries and 4 sixes.
Himachal in reply were bundled out for 125 runs, thanks to a majestic bowling spell by Saniya Raut. If Jemimah has been a force to reckon with the ball, Saniya has lead the bowling department bagging 24 wkts in 10 ODI’s and this being her 2nd five-wicket haul. Saniya’s spell of 5/19 in 7.2 overs was nothing short of a match winning bowling spell troubling the opposition with her accurate line and length.
Mumbai team won the match by 136 runs and qualify for the semi finals of the tournament.
