An utterly dominant India won their second successive U-19 Women’s T20 World Cup title, dismantling South Africa with a nine-wicket shellacking in the final on Sunday. With this triumph, the Girls in Blue not only defended their crown but also became the first team to win the tournament without dropping a single game— a testament to the most perfectly calibrated youth structure in the sport.
Amid the euphoria, Mrs. Nita M. Ambani, a devoted supporter of Indian sports, lauded the young champions.
"Champions again! Congratulations to our incredible Girls in Blue for winning the U-19 Women's T20 World Cup for the second year in a row! What a phenomenal triumph! Your grit, passion, talent, and hard work have made us all proud. You’ve shown the world that India, Indian sport, and Indian women are truly unstoppable. Your stories and your journeys are an inspiration for generations to come. Keep shining!"
Her words echoed across the nation, inspiring young girls from every corner to dream bigger and aim higher. The impact of this victory went beyond the trophy—it was a statement. A movement. A declaration that Indian women’s cricket is here to dominate.
As the Girls in Blue lifted the World Cup, their faces shone with the pride of champions. They had once again proven that when talent meets determination, history is rewritten. And in their triumph, they paved the way for a future where Indian women in sports are truly unstoppable.
Having outclassed every opponent on their path to the final, India asserted themselves yet again, finishing the chase with a staggering 52 balls to spare. The biggest star of the day was the sensational all-rounder Gongadi Trisha, who tormented South Africa with a stunning 3/15 in her spell before anchoring the chase with an unbeaten 33-ball 44.
South Africa, led by Kayla Reyneke, opted to bowl first, but their decision quickly backfired. India’s three-pronged spin attack was relentless, bundling them out for just 82. From the first over, it was clear that the Girls in Blue were in no mood to take their foot off the pedal. Their bowling unit, sharp and disciplined, choked the opposition, setting up an easy chase.
And chase they did—with the same authority that had defined their campaign. Trisha, alongside her teammates, made quick work of the target, ensuring that the title remained in India’s grasp. As the final boundary was struck, the team erupted in celebration, their dominance now etched into cricketing history.
