Niruka (1/7), Bandana (1/10), K Sayatombi (1/6) and H Sijapiyari (1/6) also chipped in with a wicket apiece for PTCC before the first wicket stand between Koijam Ranjita 20 off 22 balls and Lourembam Prena 10 off 9 balls proved more than enough for the team to seal the victory.
Bidyarani, who shone with a three wicket haul, was eventually adjudged player of the match.
Elsewhere at THAU Ground, Thangmeiband, TCMDC, Thongju II Pechu Lampak crushed YPHUC, Lalambung by 8 wickets for their first Group B victory in three matches.
