From Kitchen to Cricket Pitch: Purnima VO Finishes Match Faster Than Lunch Gets Ready!

Karbook | Gomati Tripura | 21 January 2026

A unique and unforgettable cricket match was organized under the Self Help Group (SHG), Karbook Cluster, in Gomati Tripura, where laughter, emotions, and inspiration shared the same ground.

The match between Kwchang VO and Purnima VO began with Kwchang VO winning the toss and choosing to bat first. But fate had other plans. In the full 6 overs, Kwchang VO could manage only 4 runs, losing 5 wickets, leaving spectators shocked and amused at the same time. Some joked that the batters were already thinking about evening tea rather than runs! 

What followed was history in fast-forward mode. Purnima VO, needing just a few runs, completed the chase in a record-breaking 1 minute 55 seconds, scoring 8 runs and winning the match before many could even understand the score. People were still finding seats when the match was already over! 

Woman of the Match: Khata Debbarma
Her calm confidence and contribution symbolized the strength of women who balance every role in life.

Beyond the jokes and cheers, the match carried a deep emotional message. These players are not professional cricketers—they are housewives, who spend their days caring for their families, husbands, children, and households. After finishing kitchen work, family responsibilities, and daily struggles, they stepped onto the field with smiles, courage, and unity.

This match proved that women, especially those connected with Self Help Groups, are not only the backbone of families but also the hidden champions of society. From managing homes to managing matches, their strength deserves respect and applause. 

Final Result:
Purnima VO won the match
A victory of women’s unity, confidence, and courage
