The Indian bowling attack was relentless, with Parunika Sisodia and Vaishnavi Sharma picking up three wickets each. Aayushi Shukla contributed with two crucial wickets, while Gongadi Trisha, despite going wicketless, was the most economical bowler, conceding just 18 runs in her four-over spell.
G Kamalini’s Sensational Fifty Seals India’s Victory:
Chasing a modest 114, India U19 got off to a flying start with a solid 60-run opening partnership. Although England managed to dismiss opener Gongadi Trisha, it was not enough to derail India’s charge towards the final.
