The Under-19 women’s team of India achieved a historic milestone as they managed to enter the finals of the Women’s U-19 World Cup 2025 and move a step closer to clinching the ultimate glory. The Indian team will now face South Africa for an epic final face-off to determine the winner of the coveted competition.

Indian bowlers stormed England

England women won the toss in Bayuemas Oval and elected to bat first. However, their intentions of applying scoreboard pressure in India could not bore fruit as a dominant display from Indian bowlers restricted the flow of runs and paved the way for quick dismissals of England batters. India prevented the English batting line-up from switching gears leading to anxious moments on the pitch.

For India, it was a stellar show by Parunika Sisodia and Vaishnavi Sharma as both bowlers took 3 wickets each to put England on backfoot. Aayushi Shukla further added concerns for the English batters as she sent 2 English batters back to the pavilion including opener Davina Perrin who was also the highest scorer for England with a 45-run knock off 40 balls. Shukla also crucially took the wicket of skipper Abi Norgrove to further dent England’s hopes of making a comeback in the match with the bat.

Indian batters wreaked havoc to enter into the finals

A disciplined effort from Indian bowlers restricted England to 113 runs in their 20 overs. With an achievable target in sight, it was the time for Indian batters to continue the remarkable show with the bat as they hammered down English bowlers left, right and center. Openers Kamalini Gunalan and Gongadi Trisha stormed the English and played some empathic shots to build a partnership of 60 runs. Kamalini, who was the star batter for India, played a power-packed 56-run knock off 50 balls and paved the way for India into a historic final by achieving the target in 15 overs with 9 wickets in hand. The epic face-off against South Africa will be played on February 2.
