Odisha suffered a hat-trick of defeats when they lost to Saurashtra by six runs in their third Elite Group-B match of the Senior Womens T20 Trophy Cricket Tournament at PCA Stadium in New Chandigarh on 29 October 2026. Earlier Odisha lost their first two matches against Andhra and Himachal Pradesh.
The only bright spot of the Odisha performance today was a half-century by opener Madhuri Meheta. This was the second fifty in three matches for the former India batter Madhuri, who slammed her earlier one against Andhra.
