India 'C' won the toss and skipper Mithali Raj elected to bat and lost an early wicket in the form of Karuna Jain (4 runs) in the fourth over.

The other opener Jaya Sharma made a well compiled half century sending four hits to the fence. She along with Devika Palshikar consolidated the innings and added forty-nine runs for the fourth wicket after centurion from the last match, Mithali Raj (16 runs) didn't get going and was caught by Swaroopa Kadam of her own bowling.

With Jaya Sharma out for a steady 58 runs, Palshikar and Amita Sharma piled on 60 runs for the fifth wicket and were eyeing the 225-run mark but Jhulan Goswani brought India 'A' back in to the game by getting both Devika and Amita in consecutive deliveries in the 47th over to put the brakes on the scoring.

India 'C' managed to add only 20 runs before they were bundled out for 198 in the allotted 50 overs.

In reply, India 'A' were off to a flyer as Sulakshana Naik smacked five fours in her knock of 24 (16 balls) before being caught by wicket-keeper Karuna Jain of the bowling of Amita Sharma.
