ICC Under-19 Women's T20 World Cup champions India
Gongadi Trisha starred with bat and ball as India were crowned ICC Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup 2025 champions with a nine-wicket win over South Africa.
Trisha, who finished as the tournament’s top run-scorer, took three for 15 to help bowl South Africa out for 82 at the Bayuemas Oval, Kuala Lumpur. She then led the run-chase, scoring 44 not out, to steer India to victory and a successful defence of the trophy they won in 2023.
South Africa was unable to score quickly enough in their innings and lost regular wickets as India’s spin bowlers took control, but this tournament marks excellent progress from the inaugural competition two years ago, where they failed to go beyond the Super Six stage.
Scores:
South Africa 82 (20) (Mieke van Voorst 23, Jemma Botha 16; Gongadi Trisha 3/15, Parunika Sisodia 2/6)
India 84-1 (11.2) (Gongadi Trisha 44*, Sanika Chalke 26*)
