Indian Female Cricketers Created History: Won U19 T20 World Cup 2023

 India was crowned the first-ever ICC Women's T20 World Cup. The Indian team, led by Shafali Verma, prevailed against the English side by seven wickets.

On Sunday at the Senwes Park stadium in South Africa, the Indian U19 Women's cricket team made history by winning their match. India became the first women's Indian cricket team to win a world championship after defeating England in the final of the Women’s T20 World Cup by a score of seven wickets.

The India captain, Shafali Verma, got her team off to a great start in their quest to win the world cup by blasting a magnificent four off Hannah Baker's ball. The target was 69.  Baker then provided a significant advantage for her team when she eliminated Shafali for 15 off 11 points. Bowlers from England attempted to regain control of the game.

England skipper Grace Scrivens dismissed dangerous batter Shweta Sehrawat for a score of five runs in six balls. The next batter to step up to the plate was Gongadi Trisha. While Trisha took on the anchor role, Soumya Tiwari was responsible for maintaining some assertive boundaries. 

After the first ten overs, India needed to score 21 runs in the remaining 60 balls to win. After that, Gongadi Trisha opened her hands and proceeded to hammer Ellie Anderson with back-to-back two fours. Alexa Stonehouse got rid of the hitter Gongadi Trisha in the 13th innings by dismissing her for 24 runs off 29 deliveries. 

Indian bowlers could completely take control of the game from the beginning of the top match against England, which they won by opting to field first. Liberty Heap, the first batter for England, was run out by Titas Sadhu for a duck on the second delivery of the innings, giving India their first wicket.

Grace Scrivens and Niamh Fiona Holland, who were playing some boundary shots together, attempted to cope with the pressure while doing so. However, Holland could not maintain her position on the crease for too long before being sent back to the pavilion. After Holland's wicket, the English batters could not maintain their ground for very long.

Finally they lost their wickets at regular intervals in the face of the fantastic bowling performance put on by the Indian bowlers. India took the initiative early on by bowling the first ball of the match. They frequently struck the England Women's Under-19 team and ultimately bowled them out for 68 runs. 

The Final Showdown Performance Of The Indian U19 Women's Cricket Team 

The bowlers were essential to the success of the team. In the first over, Sadhu removed the potentially dangerous Liberty Heap, which resulted in the opener spooning an easy return catch. The off-spinner Archana Devi then dealt a further blow to England by claiming the wickets of Grace Scrivens and Niamh Holland inside a single over space. 

The main cause of Scrivens' demise was an outstanding catch made by Trisha at long-off, and she took the blame. The England Under-19 team was bowled out in the 18th over, even though wickets continued to fall at regular intervals throughout the innings. In the end, England's relatively low score had to be enough along the lines that had been expected.

Gongadi Trisha and Soumya Tiwari scored crucial goals as India sealed the Women's Under-19 World Cup with a spectacular seven-wicket triumph over England Under-19. Titas Sadhu, Archana Devi, and Parshavi Chopra each got two wickets in the match. India had already lost Shafali Verma and Shweta Sehrawat at the end of the fourth over.

Trisha and Tiwari worked together to sew a stand of 46, which more or less cemented the business transaction. To keep the scoring moving forward, the duo completed the drive, the flip, and the cut. Tiwari was also spared because she was let off the hook by being dropped off at Hannah Barker's house.

In the 13th over, the left-arm medium pacer Alex Stonehouse was responsible for Trisha's dismissal. Tiwari got a double, and a single in the next over that Barker delivered, allowing India to move their score higher than England's. At Potchefstroom, the celebrations were in full swing as Shafali, and the rest of her team raced onto the field to celebrate their victory. 

Whole Fraternity Congratulated The Indian U19 Women Cricket Team 

The cricket community congratulated the Indian U19 Women's Cricket team on winning the first-ever ICC Women's U19 World Cup. The captain of the India team, Rohit Sharma, along with other seasoned players, including Virat Kohli, Sourav Ganguly, and others, praised the performance of the India eves. 

Virat Kohli, expressed his admiration for the Indian team on social media. He wrote, "Champion of the Under-19 World Cup! What a memorable instant it was! I'd like to offer my congratulations to you, ladies, on your victory." Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Shafali Verma and the rest of the team for their remarkable victory. 

BCCI secretary Jay Shah announced that the team and the personnel would receive an award worth 5 crores. He commented, "Women's Cricket in India is increasing, and the World Cup victory has raised the prominence of women's cricket several notches higher." It refers to India's women's cricket team recently winning the ICC Women’s U19 World Cup 2023.
