Mon Jan 27 02:57:05 UTC 2025: ## India U19 Women Dominate Bangladesh in World Cup Clash
**Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia** – India’s Under-19 women’s cricket team continued their unbeaten run in the ICC Women’s U19 T20 World Cup, crushing Bangladesh by 8 wickets in a Super Sixes match at Bayuemas Oval on Sunday. A delayed start due to predicted thunderstorms didn’t deter India, who bowled first after winning the toss.
Bangladesh, struggling with their top order throughout the tournament, found themselves in early trouble, losing three quick wickets. Vaishnavi Sharma spearheaded India’s bowling attack, taking three wickets and claiming the Player of the Match award. Bangladesh managed a meager 64/8 in their 20 overs, a total that proved easily chasable for the dominant Indian team.
India’s chase was swift and decisive. Trisha Gongadi blasted a quickfire 40, becoming the tournament’s leading run-scorer, and, along with Sanika Chalke, dismantled the Bangladesh bowling attack. India reached the target in just 7.1 overs, with 8 wickets in hand.
India’s captain, Niki Prasad, expressed satisfaction with her team’s all-round performance, highlighting the importance of early breakthroughs from the pacers. Bangladesh captain, Sumaiya Akter, acknowledged India’s superiority and pointed to their team’s ongoing struggles with the top order and costly run-outs as areas needing immediate improvement.
The victory propels India to the top of the Super Sixes Group 1 table, level on points with Australia but ahead on net run rate. The tournament continues on Monday with a match between New Zealand and England.
