Early in the innings, after being brought in at bat, England Women's Under-19s looked down and out from the start as they began to lose wickets early on. No one but Ryana Macdonald-Gay has turned the sword on England. Once again it was a disgraceful performance with the bat for England in this competition. India Women U19 were exceptionally good with the ball. Titas Sadhu set the tone and soon the spinners came into play and never let the English batsmen breathe easy. Finally, the England women's under-19 team's winning streak was snapped.
!
England's under-19 players haven't had much to fight for here. However, England started quite positively and saw a glimmer of hope as they saw the back of Shafali Verma, who appeared to be in good contact. Soon, Grace Scrivens got the better of Shweta Sehrawat. Though they were unable to find the third wicket as early as they would have liked and that's where the game slipped away from them. Alexa Stonehouse and Hannah L Baker also took a wicket each but lost.
!
Soumya Tiwarista stays out until the end and scores the winning streak here. Before long, his teammates steal him and run over the ropes and celebrations across India begin. And the Indian team is on the winning lap here. The crowd is also getting into the wave. India got off to a bright start thanks to a spirited tackle by Shafali Verma. Although the India women's under-19s were under some pressure from the start, their starting partner was sent back in the blink of an eye. Soumya Tiwari and Gongadi Trisha, although they left in a precarious situation, controlled their nerves very well. The two sewed a crucial position to bring their team closer to victory.
!
The final chapter of the ICC Women's U19 T20 World Cup comes to an end and India wins the inaugural tournament. What day is this for indian cricket. England failed to repeat their heroic semi-final effort against Australia and failed to cross the line here.
