Nagaland and Sikkim will face off in the final of the 1st NECDC Senior Women’s Interstate Friendship T20 Tournament, organized by the North East Cricket Development Council and hosted by the Meghalaya Cricket Association. The match is scheduled for Saturday at 10am, with live scores and streaming available on cricheroes.in.
Heavy rainfall delayed the semifinals to the reserve day at Pahamsning Cricket Ground, forcing alternative formats instead of full matches. The first semifinal between Meghalaya and Nagaland was decided by a tense ‘Bowl Out’, where bowlers aimed to knock down the stumps. Nagaland narrowly edged out Meghalaya 2-1 to advance to the final.
The second semifinal saw Sikkim beat Manipur in a ‘Super Over’. Sikkim’s Pranita Chettri delivered tight bowling, restricting Manipur to 6/0 in six balls. Samayita Roy Prodhan then sealed the victory for Sikkim, hitting the required runs, including a boundary, in just four deliveries.
Nagaland and Sikkim, who previously met in Group B, will now compete for the championship. Sikkim won their earlier encounter by 4 wickets, but Nagaland will look to even the score in the final as both teams vie for the inaugural NECDC Senior Women’s Interstate Friendship T20 title.
