Women U19 Asia Cup: The Indian women's cricket team created history by performing brilliantly in the first edition of the Under-19 Women's Asia Cup held in 2024. The Indian team won the title by defeating Bangladesh by 41 runs in the final match. This achievement is not only a matter of pride for Indian cricket but also reflects India's growing strength in women's cricket.

Exciting turn of the match

Bangladesh captain Sumayya Akhtar won the toss and decided to bowl first. The Indian team got off to a shaky start, and the entire team was bundled out for 117 runs. However, despite the small target, the Indian bowlers performed strongly and bundled out Bangladesh for just 76 runs.

Disintegration of Bangladesh innings

The run chase proved to be challenging for the Bangladesh team from the beginning. Their opener Mosammat Eva was out for zero. Only two batsmen in the entire team—Fahmida Choya (18) and Zuaria Firdaus (22)—could reach double figures. After losing 4 wickets for 55 runs, their entire batting collapsed, and the team fell apart like a pack of cards.

Ayushi Shukla's deadly bowling

The bowlers made the biggest contribution to the victory of the Indian team. Ayushi Shukla bowled deadly and took 3 wickets in 3.3 overs. Purunika Sisodia and Sonam Yadav also took 2-2 wickets with their accurate bowling. These bowlers did not give any chance to the Bangladesh batsmen to play freely.

Gongadi Trisha's strong performance

For India, Gongadi Trisha scored a half-century and took the team to a respectable score. She scored 52 runs in 47 balls with the help of 5 fours and 2 sixes. For her brilliant innings, she got the title of "Player of the Match". Captain Nikki Prasad (12 runs), Mithila Vinod (17 runs), and Ayushi Shukla (10 runs) also made useful contributions.

Farzana Esmin shines in Bangladesh bowling

Farzana Esmin bowled brilliantly for Bangladesh and took 4 wickets. Her bowling gave initial jolts to the Indian batting order, but Trisha's innings took control of the Indian team.

Historic day for India
