T20 Trophy Super League: Disha Kasats unbeaten 91 took Vidarbha to an eight-wicket win over Delhi in the first round of the Senior Womens T20 Trophy Super League stage on Saturday. It was also a day when defending champions Maharashtra, Railways and Karnataka also tasted success. Disha, who will turn out for Mumbai Indians in the 2027 Womens Premier League (WPL), hit 10 sixes and two fours in her 54-ball knock in Vidarbhas victory at the Narendra Modi Stadium Ground B. After Delhi made 169/5, Vidarbha completed the chase in 17.3 overs. Skipper Mona Meshram stood firm at the other end and remained not out on 43 from 24 balls. Mona and Disha added an unbroken 106-run stand for the third wicket, with the latter taking the Player of the Match award. Boundaries made up 68 of Dishas 91 runs, thus underlining how thoroughly she dominated the Delhi bowling attack. Delhi, who chose to bat after winning the toss, were given a solid base by in-form batter Tanisha Singh, who remained not out on 78. Shweta Sherawat added 35, but the total was never going to be enough against Dishas onslaught. Yashshri Soley was the pick of Vidarbha bowlers with 2-34. Vidarbha will next take on Karnataka on Monday. Elsewhere, at the Gujarat College Cricket Ground 'A', the Smriti Mandhana-led Maharashtra beat Andhra by 48 runs. They posted 161/6 in 20 overs, with Gautami Naik top-scoring with 34, and then restricted Andhra to 113/9. Dnyaneshwari Patil led the attack with 3-19, while Anuja Patil chipped in with both bat and ball after making 31, she picked 2-22. In the third clash of the day, Mumbai made 157/9 in 20 overs, thanks to the efforts of Simran Shaikh (48) and Sanika Chalke (43). For Railways, off-spin bowling all-rounder Sneh Rana took 4-28, while Renuka Singh Thakur took 2-19. In reply, Railways completed the chase with a ball to spare. Opener Pratika Rawal was in blistering mode smashing 86 off 52 balls, laced with nine fours and three sixes. Sneh followed up her bowling efforts by hitting an unbeaten 37 off 30 balls to get Railways up and running with a win. Elsewhere, Karnataka beat Baroda by five wickets, with off-spinner Shreyanka Patil taking 3-19. Her efforts, along with Ananya Hegdes 2-26, dismantled the Baroda batting line-up as they were bowled out for 137 in 19.4 overs. In the chase, Vrinda Dinesh set the tone for the successful chase by hitting 49 off just 16 balls, laced with four fours and five sixes, while Niki Prasad was another notable contributor with a 17-ball 31, as Karnataka got home in 13.3 overs.

Pune leads automotive industrial leasing with 28% share
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 14 (IANS) Shiv Sena leader Shaina NC on Saturday questioned the allegations of phone tapping made by Leader of the Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, asking why Prime Minister Narendra Modi would be interested in tapping his phone. Congress leaders hit back at the BJP and defended LoP Gandhi's allegations. Speaking to IANS, Shaina NC said, Why would PM Modi tap Rahul Gandhi's phone? Tell me, is he a secret agent? Does he have any secret information? If you want to make allegations, you must come out of Modi phobia. Only then will you understand. She further criticised LoP Rahul Gandhi, alleging that he lacked a vision and a concrete plan and repeatedly invoked the Prime Minister's name to portray him negatively. You have repeated Modi ji's name so much, morning and evening, that you have portrayed him as a villain. In fact, he is a hero. You should look for someone else to portray as a villain, she said. Meanwhile, Congress leaders defended LoP Rahul Gandhi's allegations and accused the BJP-led government of using agencies to target political opponents and undermine the federal structure. Congress MP Chamala Kiran Kumar Reddy said LoP Rahul Gandhi's allegations reflected the way the Central government was functioning and alleged that the BJP wanted to weaken regional parties and consolidate political power. Rahul ji's allegation on phone tapping is clearly showing us how the Modi government is acting. They want to destabilise the federal structure and regional parties. They want a 'One Nation, One Party, Double Engine Sarkar'. All these things are in their interest to remain in power for a long time, and they are using all the agencies, which we can clearly see, he said. Referring to Telangana's political history, Reddy alleged that former Chief Minister K. Chandrashekar Rao had also resorted to phone tapping during his tenure to prevent the Congress from coming to power. As LoP Rahul Gandhi rightly said, they are using everything for the sake of staying in power, he added. Congress leader and AICC in-charge for Telangana, Sachin Sawant, also criticised the BJP, alleging that phone tapping, gathering Intelligence on individuals and blackmailing them had become part of its political modus operandi. This has been the attitude and policy of the Bharatiya Janata Party. This is how the Constitution and democracy of this country have been put in danger, he said. Referring to Maharashtra, Sawant alleged that the phones of several political leaders had been tapped in the state, describing it as a major scandal. So, what is new about this? This is Modi ji's gift to this country, he added.
