It all started on 11th November when Pandim and Sinolchu faced each other in the first league game. After the league stage, top two teams from the pool clashed with each other in the final. And we have got Pandim as the first champions of the Sica First Women's Cricket Tournament. They showed their skills throughout the tournament and proved their abilities. They posted the total of 115 runs in their first innings. It would have been a highest run chase in this tournament if Kabru had won the match. Kabru were looking good only till 5 overs, then they lost their way altogether and  could just manage 91 runs for the loss of 8 wickets. Thanks to the brilliant bowling performance from the bowlers of Pandim who bowled beautifully with consistent control. Shristi Rai bowled an astonishing spell of 2/11 in his four overs. She was accompanied by Y Lepcha and Newar who also picked up a wicket each.

It was the decision of Kabru to field first after winning the toss. Pandim lost their first wicket early, but they recovered well. SL Lepcha and SR Prodhan added 75 runs for the second wicket. While SL Lepcha batted very slowly for her 43-ball 16 runs innings, SR Prodhan took just 42 deliveries for her 59 which included as many as 11 boundaries. Eventually, Pandim went on to score 115 runs and that also became the highest score of the tournament. Samayita Roy Prodhan was awarded the Player of the Match award for her incredible 59.

Though, Sinolchu could not play the finals, but Tshering Omgmu and Sunita Rai didn't disappointed their fans as they became the leading run-getter and wicket-taker respectively.  T Omgmu scored the most runs in tournament with 116 runs in three matches at an average of 58 while S Rai took 7 wickets to her name in three matches.
