Thank you for joining!

That's all we have from the final of the Senior Women's T20 Trophy 2022. A record 10th title for the Railways who continue to extend their dominance in the Indian domestic circuit. Maharashtra, on the other hand, have further extended their lead of losing the most Senior Women's T20 Final to five - two more finals lost than the second-placed Hyderabad.

Right then, it's time to bid goodbye. Thank you for joining into our coverage of this beautiful final from the Lalbhai Contractor Stadium. See you next time!

10th title for Railways!

10th Senior Women's T20 title for Railways and this one was a walk in the park. They absolutely decimated Maharashtra in the final today and walk away unbeaten throughout the season.

Smriti Mandhana's well-paced knock helped Maharashtra pile on 160 in the first innings, but Railways made it look very easy. While S Meghana laid the platform with a well made 52, Dayalan Hemalatha ensured they don't lose the way after the former's dismissal. Hemalatha would have liked to close things off herself, but she won't complain as Anjali and skipper Sneh Rana did so with ease! 

Maharashtra bowling figures

A sorry-looking card for Smriti Mandhana-led Maharashtra side. No one apart from Sonawane caused any troubles for the Railways' batters and the scorecard reflects it.

All of their batters got good starts and Railways made it count in the end, winning the match with 11 balls to spare.

Anjali Sravani swings and she swings hard. Sends the very first delivery of the 19th over into the stands and Railways have clinched their 10th Senior Women's T20 title.

What a way to end a spectacular tournament

Sonawane sends back Hemalatha!

Some respite for Maharashtra as Sonawane scalps the dangerous Dayalan Hemalatha. But is it too little too late?

24 needed off 30

Anjali Sarvani has come out and struck a couple of boundaries and the required run-rate is below 6 now. Just a formality from here for Railways. They have their 10th title in the bag.

50* Hemalatha!

Fabulous, fabulous innings this from Hemalatha under pressure. She has gone from 21 off 19 to bringing up her half-century off just 29 deliveries. Terrific acceleration from the Railways number 3.
