Maharashtra, unable to negotiate the quick deliveries, were dismissed for 89 &nbsp;in 33.3 overs. Samruddhi Dale was the lone batswoman to defy the Mumbai bowlers, making 29 before being run out towards the end.
Chasing an easy target, the Mumbai innings suffered an early setback when opener Sadhvi Sanjay was caught and bowled by Aditi Waghmare with the scoreboard&nbsp; reading four in the second over.
But <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/sports/cricket/article/mssa-u16-cricket-sanika-chalkes-101-out-of-teams-135-20355177" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">Sanika Chalke</a> and Saloni Kushte batted confidently to stitch a fine 83-run, second wicket partnership in 14.5 overs to put Mumbai on top.
Sanika top-scored with a 49-ball 43 which included nine boundaries while Saloni scored a composed 33 not out with five hits to the ropes as Mumbai won easily with plenty to spare.
