CAT Match Report

Bhutan’s under 19 women’s team beat Singapore by 14 runs in the afternoon match at Gymkhana but the girls from Singapore will be kicking themselves as they conceded 48 extras including no fewer than 39 wides.

These runs given away contributed almost half of Bhutan’s total of 101 for 5. Sonam Choden was at the wicket only for a short time but made a big impression as she scored 8 at a run a ball and hit a precious boundary as her side became the first to reach the century mark in the competition.

She then looked to have put the match beyond Singapore by dismissing both openers as four wickets fell with just 20 on the board. Samantha Singham and Tanya Sen then shared a fifth-wicket partnership of  62 to bring their team close to victory, but they could not scamper enough singles or hit a crucial boundary.

Bhutan’s bowlers held their nerve, conceding fewer extras, and their keen fielding produced two run outs off consecutive balls late in the day. Both sides could be pleased with their efforts but it was Bhutan who claimed victory by 14 runs.
