Women’s Under-19 T20 World Cup final: India thrash South Africa to defend title
India have won the Under-19 T20 World Cup after storming to a nine-wicket victory over South Africa in the final.
Having bowled South Africa out for 82, India needed just 11.2 overs to knock off the runs in Kuala Lumpur.
Gongadi Trisha was the standout performer for India, taking 3-15 with the ball before smashing an unbeaten 44 from 33 balls in the chase.
South Africa won the toss and opted to bat first but were soon in trouble as they slipped to 20-3 in the powerplay and never recovered.
Runs were hard to come by as India’s spinners took hold and, with wickets falling at regular intervals, the Proteas’ progress was slow before they were eventually bowled out from the last ball of the innings.
There were no such problems for India as Trisha quickly put them in control with a flurry of early boundaries.
The 19-year-old already looks a star of the future and ends as the tournament’s leading run-scorer with 309 in seven matches, some 133 runs ahead of England’s Davina Perrin in second.
Sanika Chalke was left to hit the winning boundary two balls into the 12th over to start the celebrations for India, who also won the inaugural tournament in 2023.
In a thrilling final match of the Women’s Under-19 T20 World Cup, India showcased their dominance by thrashing South Africa to defend their title. The Indian team put on a stellar performance, both with the bat and ball, to secure a convincing victory.
Batting first, India posted a formidable total, thanks to some brilliant batting from their top order. The openers got off to a flying start and set the tone for the innings, with the middle order also chipping in with valuable contributions. South Africa’s bowlers struggled to contain the Indian batters, as they smashed boundaries all around the park.
In reply, South Africa never really got going, as the Indian bowlers kept the pressure on with some tight bowling and regular breakthroughs. The spinners were particularly impressive, picking up crucial wickets and restricting the scoring rate. In the end, South Africa fell well short of the target, handing India a comprehensive victory.
The win not only sees India retain their title but also highlights the incredible talent and potential of the young players in the team. Congratulations to the Indian team on their impressive performance and well-deserved victory in the Women’s Under-19 T20 World Cup final.
