The U-19 Women in Blue clinched their maiden T20 World Cup. India comprehensively defeated England Cricket Team and won the final by 7 wickets. The Women in Blue had restricted England to a below-par 68 runs in 17.1 overs which it was a team effort from the team.

India chased down the target in 14 overs and won the match by 7 wickets. This was the maiden U-19 T20 World Cup organized by ICC which showed a lot of promise as the World Cricket witnessed scintillating action where there was even contest between bat & ball.

Jay Shah on India U-19 Women’s Cricket Team

BCCI Secretary Jay Shah took to his social media handle and was quite praise-worthy for T20 WC. “Women’s Cricket in India is on the upswing and the World Cup triumph has taken the stature of women’s cricket several notches higher. I am delighted to announce INR 5 crore for the entire team and support staff as prize money. This is surely a path-breaking year.” said Jay Shah.

Delight for India

The dashing right handed Shafali Verma was leading the side as her experience proved to be quite vital. This triumph would give the senior women’s Cricket Team a massive confidence as Women’s T20 World Cup is also going to take place in South Africa.

England Women on the other side would be utterly disappointed with their performance as another 40 odd runs could have made the match more interesting. They had won a thriller against Australia in the Semi Finals where not many would have expected such sort of performance from them.
