Meanwhile, earlier last year, Bokakhat emerged champion in the Kanaklata Barua Women’s Inter-District Cricket Tournament played in Goalpara. They outplayed Dibrugarh by 9 wickets in the final.

Bokakhat won the toss and elected to field first. It turned out to be a wise decision as Dibrugarh struggled to get going, losing wickets at regular intervals.

The entire team was bowled out for a meagre 46 runs in just 22.4 overs. Gayatri Gurung scored the highest runs for Dibrugarh with 13 runs, while Rashmi Dey was the pick of the bowlers for Bokakhat, taking 3 wickets and conceding just 3 runs.

Pallak Kumari also chipped in with 2 wickets at the cost of just 2 runs.

Chasing a modest target of 47 runs, Bokakhat got off to a steady start with openers Avantika Munda and Tinamoni Patgiri putting on 21 runs for the first wicket.

Although Munda was dismissed for 15, Tinamoni and Uma Chetry made sure that there were no further hiccups and the side chased the target in just 12.1 overs.

Tinamoni remained unbeaten on 12, while Chetry was not out on 9. Rashmi Dey was named the player of the match for her excellent bowling performance.
