IND-W U19 Win by Nine Wickets | India Women vs South Africa Women ICC U19 Women's T20 World Cup 2025 Final Highlights: Gongadi Trisha Stars In Summit Clash To Help India Win Second Successive Title

INDIA WIN! This has been an exception shown in the final by India, who never looked under any pressure. Gongadi Trisha showcased an all-round performance in the summit clash, first taking three wickets, and then scoring an unbeaten 48. This has been an all-rounder performance from India U19, who throughout the tournament did not put a foot wrong. Niki Prasad-led side barely ever lost their mojo, and have gone defeatless in the competition, which makes this ICC U19 Women's T20 World Cup 2025 victory even more special. The tournament witnessed Trisha Gongadi finish as the leading run-getter, and Vaishanavi Sharma ended the competition as the highest wicket-taker. 

Despite the fall of the wicket, the flow of runs for India has not stopped. Gongadi Trisha is playing the perfect sheet anchor role, with Sanika Chalke acting as the aggressor. The duo have already added 10 off 15 balls for the second wicket, with India needing 37 to win. 

OUT! South Africa skipper Kayla Reyneke gets her side a crucial breakthrough, and G Kamalini's stay in the middle comes to an end. Kamalini's innings looked really scratchy, with the batter managing just 8 runs off 13 balls. G Kamalini c Simone Lourens b Kayla Reyneke 8(13)

This is a near-perfect start for India, with both Gongadi Trisha and G Kamalini providing the side with a fiery start. South African bowlers look under pressure with Fay Cowling spraying the ball all over in her first over, where she got hit for two fours. India are just 59 runs away from a memorable win. 

India just needs 83 runs to defend their U19 T20 World Cup title, and also clinch their second title. Openers G Kamalini and Gongadi Trisha will look to provide a solid start as such low targets can lead to tricky situations under pressure. South Africa will bank on their bowlers to come good yet again. Trisha has already gotten off the mark with a boundary in the first over itself. 

OUT! And, the final South Africa also falls down. Parunika Sisodia claimed his second wicket of the match, dismissing Ashleigh van Wyk for a three-ball duck. South Africa have managed just 82 runs, with Mieke van Voorst top-scoring with 23. This has been a poor showing for South Africa, where batters kept on losing wickets, and the score seemed to go nowhere. Gongadi Trisha was the star bowler for India, picking three wickets, with Sisodia, Aayushi Shukla, and Vaishnavi Sharma clinching two wickets each. 

OUT! Second wicket in the over for Vaishnavi Sharma, and she removes Monalisa Legodi for a two-ball duck. The last two overs have seen four South African batters get out, and this innings, which looked to go near 100 suddenly seems to be going nowhere. Monalisa Legodi b Vaishnavi Sharma 0(2)

OUT! Leading wicket-taker Vaishnavi Sharma gets her first wicket of the match, and gets rid of Fay Cowling, who slammed the bowler for a maximum on the first ball of the over. Cowling scored 15 off 20. Fay Cowling b Vaishnavi Sharma 15(20)

OUT! Two-in-two for Gongadi Trisha, and she gets rid of Seshnie Naidu for a golden duck. This is Trisha's third wicket of the match, will be on a hat-trick in the next over. Seshnie Naidu b Gongadi Trisha 0(1)

OUT! Gongadi Trisha breaks a promising stand and gets rid of Mieke van Voorst. Voorst along with Fay Cowling added 30 off 31 balls for the sixth, which has helped South Africa near the 100-run mark. Voorst called 23 off 18.
