India beat England in the first-ever ICC U-19 Women’s T20 World Cup final on Sunday.
Chasing a meagre 69, India lost Shafali Verman and Shweta Sehrawat early. But G Trisha and Soumya Tiwari built a solid partnership to guide India home.
India bowled out England for a paltry 68 after England’s batting once again faltered in a crunch game.
Titas Sadhu did the damage early on and picked up the in-form Liberty Heap in the first over and off-spinner Archana Devi also bowled well to dent England right at the start.
The rest of the bowlers chipped in with regular breakthroughs as the England batting lineup had no answers.
