"Many congratulations to Women’s team for playing such quality cricket in the tournament. We need to remember that Jhulan, Richa and Deepti were playing for the country and hence could not participate for the Bengal team at the league stage. Sukanya was not released by Railways within the deadline, Dhara suffered from covid and Paramita suffered from a hamstring injury. Hence, we were without our best players. Now if we qualify, we would get the services Richa and Deepti too and Paramita may be available subject to her recovery, all of which would make our team stronger," said CAB President Avishek Dalmiya on the Bengal Women's team's performance in the Senior One-Day Trophy 2020-21.
Electing to bat first Bengal amassed 259/8 in their quota of overs and later successfully restricted their opponents to 169/9 as Bhawna Olhan's unbeaten ton went in vain for Haryana.

This batswomen has hit a purple patch and has given the much needed solidity to the Bengal middle order.
