MD Thirushkamini’s 58 wasn’t enough for Tamil Nadu as Jharkhand got the better of them by eight wickets thanks to Mamta Kanojia’s unbeaten 48 and an all-round performance from Durga Murmu, who scored 17* after bowling four frugal overs for just 16.



Earlier, Thirushkamini was the only batter standing firm with Nidhi B and Niharika running through Tamil Nadu at the Greenfield Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram.
