India wins U19 women’s T20 World Cup with clinical performance against South Africa in final

India have won the U19 Women’s T20 World Cup for the second time in as many attempts. They defeated South Africa in the final played at Bayuemas Oval in Kuala Lumpur. It was yet another comprehensive display from the young girls in blue as they never let the opposition off the hook at any stage during the match. Trisha Gongadi was once again the star with her all-round show for India picking up three wickets and then finishing the match remaining unbeaten on 44.

Earlier in the game, South Africa opted to bat after winning the toss and started well with Jemma Botha scoring 10 runs in the first over off VJ Joshitha. But the spin was introduced in the second over itself and Parunika Sisodia didn’t disappoint. The left-arm spinner struck in her very first over and then the procession never stopped. The spinners didn’t let the South African batters score at all as they could muster only 33 runs in the first 10 overs of their innings.
