India produced a clinical performance with ball and bat on Sunday to beat England by 7 wickets and clinch the inaugural edition of the ICC Women's U-19 T20 World Cup in Potchefstroom.
Two wickets each from Titas Sadhu, Archana Devi and Parshavi Chopra helped India bowl out England for 68 in 17.1 overs.
Openers Shafali Verma and Shweta Sehrawat departed early in the chase before Gongadi Trisha and Soumya Tiwari steadied the ship with a 46-run partnership for the third wicket.
Trisha got out for a well-made 24 off 29 balls with India needing just 3 runs to win, which were knocked off without any more damage in the 14th over.
"The way all the girls are performing and backing each other, so happy. Incredible feeling.
"Thanks to the staff, the way they have been backing us everyday and telling us that we are here for the cup and because of them we are here. All thanks to them," Verma said after the match.
