India Clinches ICC U-19 Women's T20 World Cup Title for the Second Consecutive Time

India reaffirmed its dominance in women's youth cricket by securing back-to-back ICC U-19 Women's T20 World Cup titles. In the final at the Biomass Oval on Sunday, India defeated South Africa by a commanding nine wickets. The Indian team showcased a clinical performance, chasing a modest target of 83 runs in 11.2 overs while losing only one wicket. Openers Gongadi Trisha and Sanika Chalke spearheaded India's chase with a composed batting display. Trisha remained unbeaten on 44 runs, anchoring the innings precisely, while Chalke contributed a brisk 26 runs. South Africa's Kayla Reneke managed to claim the sole wicket for her team, but it was not enough to halt India's march to victory. Earlier, South Africa, after winning the toss and opting to bat first, struggled to build momentum against a disciplined Indian bowling attack. The Proteas were bowled out for 82 runs in their allotted 20 overs. Mickey van Wurst top-scored with 23 runs, while Faye Cowling (15) and Karabo Meso (10) were the only other batters to reach double figures. ![](https://bootballer.com/storage/media/posts/JXFkI01QSW98CeKlEfbP0JMSscZvYFPZmF4D9jUu.jpg) India's bowlers delivered a collective masterclass, with Gongadi Trisha leading the charge by claiming three crucial wickets.

This victory marks India's second consecutive triumph in the ICC U-19 Women’s T20 World Cup, cementing their status as a powerhouse in women’s youth cricket.

The team lost all three group-stage matches before securing a consolation victory against Malaysia in the playoffs. Despite the setbacks, Nepal's participation marked a significant milestone for the nation's cricketing journey.

Nepal's struggles continued in the ongoing Women's Triangular International Twenty20 Series. They suffered their third consecutive defeat, falling short by 15 runs against the Netherlands at the Tri-University Cricket Ground on Sunday. With this loss, Nepal's chances of clinching the series title have significantly diminished. Earlier in the tournament, Nepal faced a 20-run defeat against the Netherlands and a four-wicket loss to Thailand. Thailand and the Netherlands have accumulated four points each from two matches in the triple round-robin format, leaving Nepal with a slim mathematical chance of advancing. ![](https://bootballer.com/storage/media/posts/VzQzeoaoGY3CdszVdjADrcKqdkmXbve9k0ibmlpu.jpg) Chasing a target of 141 runs, Nepal managed to post 125/7 in their allotted 20 overs. Captain Indu Verma scored 30 runs off 32 balls, including a six, while opener Samjhana Khadka contributed 23 runs. Pooja Mahato (18) and Kavita Joshi (14) also chipped in, but the rest of the batting lineup failed to reach double figures. The Dutch bowlers put up a disciplined performance, with Iris Zwilling, Caroline de Lange, and Heather Segers claiming two wickets each. Eva Lynch and Isabella van der Woning also contributed with a wicket apiece. After winning the toss and opting to bat, the Netherlands posted 140/7 in their 20 overs. Captain Babette de Leede led the charge with a solid 41 off 38 balls, including four boundaries and a six. Middle-order batter Heather Segers added 26 runs off 23 balls, while opener Phoebe Molkenboer and Robin Rickey each scored 21 runs.![](https://bootballer.com/storage/media/posts/4xOToNgspvEH9MFeRthUnaiCzNaEwMVkcCAXgeV1.jpg) Nepal's spin sensation Sita Rana Magar emerged as the standout bowler, claiming a five-wicket haul to restrict the Netherlands from posting a more formidable total. Manisha Upadhyaya supported with two wickets, while Kavita Joshi and captain Indu Verma took one wicket each. Despite Rana Magar's heroics, Nepal's batting faltered, resulting in their third straight loss. The team will now look to regroup as they prepare to face Thailand in their fourth match on Tuesday. With the Netherlands and Thailand firmly controlling the series, Nepal faces an uphill battle to keep their title hopes alive.
