Solution

The correct option is A The priest wished that I might win the match.
Indirect Speech is used to report something in our own words.
In case of request, the pattern for converting direct speech to reported speech is verb + object.
The indirect object is the person spoken to. Verbs in case of request can be ask, wish, etc. 'May' is changed to might.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
