India Women scripted history after they defeated England Women in the U19 T20 World Cup final at Senwes Park, Potchefstroom, on Sunday.

Opting to bowl first, the Indian bowlers completely dominated the proceedings and packed the English side for just 68 runs. Top scorer for England was Ryana Macdonald Gay, with 19 runs off 24 balls.

Titas Sadhu was the standout bowler for the Women in Blue, with two wickets for 6 runs in her quota of 4 overs. Similarly, Archana Devi and Parshavi Chopra also shined with the ball taking two wickets each.

In response, India Women chased down the target in 14 overs, with Soumya Tiwari scoring an unbeaten 24 and Gongadi Trisha also contributing with 24 runs. Captain Shafali Verma chipped in with 15 runs off 11 balls at the top.

“It’s really surreal. Have been looking forward to this day for a long time. We had a plan in our mind, and thankfully we executed what we planned. The spinners backed up really well. We have played 2 matches and watched all the games that happened here, and had a pretty good idea where to bowl. I want to thank them (fans and supporters back home) with all my heart,” said Sadhu after getting the Player of the Match for her outstanding performance with the ball.
