India’s Trisha Creates History with Record-Breaking Century in Women’s U19 World Cup Victory
In a stunning display of skill and determination, Gongadi Trisha of India made history by becoming the first player to score a century in the Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup. Her unbeaten 110 off just 59 balls led India to a resounding victory over Scotland in their Group 1 Super Six clash in Kuala Lumpur. The defending champions posted a formidable total of 208 for 1, thanks to Trisha’s innings filled with 13 fours and four sixes.
Trisha’s exceptional performance was complemented by her opening partner G Kamalini, who scored a quickfire 51 off 42 balls. The duo put on a remarkable 147-run partnership before Kamalini was dismissed by Maisie Maceira in the 14th over. Undeterred, Trisha continued to dominate alongside No. 3 batsman Sanika Chalke, who contributed an unbeaten 29 to India’s total, which became the second-highest in the tournament’s history.
Scotland, chasing a daunting target, faltered in their response and were bundled out for just 58 runs. India’s bowlers, led by left-arm spinner Aayushi Shukla (4 for 8) and Vaishnavi Sharma (3 for 5), wreaked havoc on the Scottish batting lineup. Trisha, showcasing her all-round abilities, also chipped in with three wickets to cap off a stellar performance.
With this victory, India, alongside Australia, secured a spot in the semi-finals from Group 1 of the Super Six round, setting the stage for an exciting conclusion to the tournament.
Bangladesh Ends Women’s U19 World Cup Campaign on a High Note
Meanwhile, Bangladesh concluded their Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup journey with a convincing ten-wicket win over West Indies in their final Super Six encounter. Offspinner Nishita Akter Nishi starred with the ball, claiming 3 for 11 to restrict West Indies to a modest total of 54 for 6 in 13 overs. Her early breakthroughs set the tone for Bangladesh’s dominance, as West Indies struggled to build partnerships.
In response, Bangladesh’s opening pair of Juairiya Ferdous (25*) and Fahomida Choya (14*) chased down the target in just 8.5 overs, sealing a comfortable victory. West Indies, plagued by erratic bowling that included 16 wides, finished at the bottom of the Super Six table with four defeats, ending their campaign on a disappointing note.
South Africa, on the other hand, completed their Group 2 campaign undefeated, courtesy of a washed-out match against the United States of America in Kuching. The result saw South Africa finish at the top of the table with seven points, securing a spot in the semi-finals alongside England.
