2023 ICC Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup

India’s quest for a maiden world title in women’s cricket finally came to an end defeating England by seven wickets in the final in Potchefstroom, South Africa. Chasing a total of 69 for victory, the Shafali Verma-led side took just three wickets for the loss of runs. India lost Verma (15) and Shweta Sehrawat (5) early, but Gongadi Trisha (24) and Soumya Tiwary (24 not out) steadied the innings and took 14 overs to win. Shafali hit a four off Hannah Baker and then hit Sophia Smale for a six.
