Goa Senior Women’s Cricket Team Clinch Victory Over Uttarakhand in T20 Trophy Opener


The Goa Cricket Association’s Senior Women’s Team kicked off their campaign in the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy (Elite Group) 2025 with a remarkable victory over Uttarakhand by 13 runs. The match, which took place on Tuesday, saw a resilient Goa side deliver a well-rounded performance to defend a modest total of 121 and bowl out the opposition in the full 20 overs.

After being put in to bat, Goa posted 121/9 on the board, with a quickfire knock of 24 runs off just 11 balls from Purvaja Verlekar giving the innings a much-needed late push. Despite early setbacks, the team managed to string together vital contributions that helped them reach a competitive score.

In the second innings, Goa’s bowlers rose to the occasion with a disciplined and aggressive display. Tanaya Naik emerged as the star performer with the ball, finishing with figures of 4 wickets for 19 runs in just 3 overs, earning her the Player of the Match award. She was supported brilliantly by Shrey, who kept things tight and claimed 3 wickets for just 16 runs in her 4 overs.

Uttarakhand, despite a few solid individual efforts, could not build any lasting partnerships and were eventually bowled out for 108. Goa’s fielding and bowling unit maintained pressure throughout the chase, never letting the opposition gain momentum.

The Goa Cricket Association’s Managing Committee congratulated the Senior Women’s Team on this fantastic opening win and extended their best wishes for the rest of the tournament. This strong start not only boosts team morale but also signals Goa’s intent to make a deep run in this year’s competition.

With teamwork, discipline, and standout individual performances, the Goa Women’s Cricket Team is off to a flying start in the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy.
