0

The
Shafali
Verma-led
side
was
chasing
a
below-par
total
of
69
runs
in
the
all-important
final
and
reached
home
in
14
overs
with
36
balls
to
spare.
The
English
side
was
undefeated
in
the
tournament
and
they
were
no
match
to
Indian
eves.

In
what
became
a
lopsided
contest
from
the
start,
India
lost
in-form
openers
cheaply
in
the
paltry
run
chase.
Captain
Shafali
(15)
and
her
deputy
Shweta
Sehrawat
(5)
were
dismissed
inside
four
overs
but
the
Indian
girls
never
felt
the
pressure
of
the
scoreboard
and
overhauled
it
comfortably.

Gongadi
Trisha
(24
off
29
balls)
was
the
third
wicket
to
perish
when
the
Indians
needed
just
three
more
runs
to
win
the
game.
But
Soumya
Tiwari
(24*
off
37
balls)
helped
the
Girls
in
Blue
cross
the
winning
line.

Earlier
in
the
day,
Titas
Sadhu
(2/6),
Archana
Devi
(2/17)
and
Parshavi
Chopra
(2/13)
picked
up
two
wickets
each
while
Mannat
Kashyap
(1/13),
Shafali
Verma
(1/16)
and
Sonam
Yadav
(1/3)
bagged
one
wicket
apiece
and
rattled
England’s
batting
line-up.

Only
Niamh
Holland
(10),
Ryana
Macdonald
Gay
(19),
Alexa
Stonehouse
(11),
and
Sophia
Smale
(11)
were
the
four
batters
who
touched
the
double
digits
with
the
bat
in
England’s
innings.

Reacting
to
India’s
win,
Nooshin
Al
Khadeer,
Head
coach
of
India
said,
“Fabulous
(the
feeling).
This
is
the
feeling
we
have
been
waiting
for
a
very
long
(time).
This
is
the
first
time
we
won
the
cup
and
it
has
come
with
the
U
19
kids.
Just
shows
the
kind
of
depth
we
have
and
what
is
there
for
us
in
the
future.
The
most
special
thing
is
the
belief.”

Titas
Sadhu
was
named
the
player
of
the
match
in
the
final
for
her
sensational
bowling
effort.
