Women’s Inter Zonal Multi-Day Trophy 2024 Final: “Want to finish as winners and not participants” says South Zone coach Diana David

For Diana David, South Zone is like home. It’s an outfit she has captained for the better part of a decade and now, she’s at the helm of a bunch of dreamers from diverse cultural and cricketing legacies as the coach of the same side.

Now, she and her team are eight wickets away from what will be a cherished victory for the outfit against East Zone in the summit clash of a tournament that is making its comeback to the domestic setup after six years.

“We didn’t get too much time to practise. The outfit was put together and we had a few days of training ahead of the semifinal against West Zone,” Diana told Sportstar after her team took two wickets against East Zone chasing 183 to win.

“No one thought we’d make it here. We weren’t given much of a chance, but here we are and all we want to do is finish the tournament as winners and not participants,” the 39-year-old said.
