Opting to bat, Odisha made a modest total of 125 for eight in 20 overs. Captain Sushree Dibyadarshini was the top scorer with a 20-ball 41. Baroda overhauled the victory target in 18.1 overs, losing three wickets. Earlier, Odisha lost their first three matches against Andhra, Himachal Pradesh and Saurashtra.
