Chandigarh, March 21 Indian national team player Raspreet Sidhu-led Delhi Divas won the coveted trophy of the 3BL Women's Basketball League 2022 after defeating Kochi Stars here on Monday.The two favourites in the competition - defending champions Kochi Stars (starring 6ft 1" Indian team centre Stephy Nixon) and Delhi Divas - faced off in the finals as expected. Coming into the final Round 6, these teams (Delhi - 3, Kochi - 2) had won all five preliminary round titles between them.The Kochi-Delhi rivalry has been the key storyline in the Women's League so far, with their head-to-head results locked at 3-3.The finals expectedly saw a clash of contrasting styles, with Stars reliant on controlling the paint through Nixon, while Divas showcased their all-round game led by a pestering defence. After a scrappy first few minutes, the decisive moment came with the scores tied at 7-7. Delhi wrested control of the pace of the game, succeeding in forcing Kochi into playing at a faster tempo. In the process Delhi built up a four point 11-7 lead which they never relinquished, for a hard fought 17-14 victory.For her overall performance, Sidhu was named the Most Valuable Player of the finals."I have no words. It is such an emotional moment. Last two years have been tough on all of us, but it was toughest for me….[because] I think I was giving up. To be a leader, it's not easy, but to be believed a leader by your team is the most difficult thing, and I think they [my teammates] are my leaders," an emotional Sidhu said after receiving the MVP award."On behalf of all the players here from the Women's League, I take the opportunity to thank (3BL Commissioner) Rohit Bakshi & Prerna Sharma Bakshi (3BL Director) for giving all the young girls a platform. This 3BL is what India needs. We need a stage to showcase our talent.""We have six teams now [in the Women's League], we will have twelve teams in the next season," Prerna Sharma, 3BL Director, highlighted during the post game ceremony.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
