Uttar Pradesh trounced Odisha by nine wickets in their Elite Group-B match of the BCCI Women U-19 T20 Trophy Cricket Tournament at BSP Cricket Stadium in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh today. This was the second straight defeat for Odisha who earlier lost to Saurashtra by two wickets yesterday.

The defeat against Uttar Pradesh came as humiliation Odisha as young women cricketers of the State failed to put up a semblance of fight. Opting to bat, Odisha were bundled out for a paltry 57 as none of the batters barring Anushka Mohanty could reach double figures.

As a bowling unit, Odisha made a meek surrender as Uttar Pradesh overhauled the victory target in 12.5 overs, losing only one wicket, which was claimed by MS Shuvashri Priyadarhini Pramanik. Odisha will next meet Jharkhand at RDCA Ground in Raipur on October 29.
