IND-U19 Win by 60 Wickets | India U-19 Women vs Sri Lanka U-19 Women ICC Women's U19 T20 World Cup 2025 Highlights: Parunika Sisodia, Jyothika VJ, Gongadi Trisha Shine as Women in Blue Advance to Next Round Topping Group A

Another commanding win for India U19 side. The Sri Lanka U19 side won the toss and decided to bowl first. Indian side struggled against the Lankan bowling attack except Gangadi Trisha who scored 49 helping the side reach a challenging 118 total in the first innings. Defending the total, Indian bowlers once again dominated the proccedings. Parunika Sisodia, Jyothika VJ, and Shabnam Md Shakil picked up two wickets each and restricted the opposition to 58 runs only. With a 60-run victory, India now top Group A and advanced to the Super Six round. 

Even though the Indian side failed to wrap up the opposition - like they did in the previous two matches, the side maintained control with pinpoint bowling.  three bowlers picked up two wickets restricting the opposition to just 58 runs in 20 overs. India won the game by 60 runs. 

Out! Vaishnavi Sharma picks up her first wicket in the match dismissing the Aseni Thalagune. Even though the Sri Lankan tailenders didn't add much to the score, they provided some resistance to the lethal  Indian bowling attack. Aseni Thalahune b Vaishavi Sharma 9 (30)

This has been a great show of grit from Sri Lanka Women's tailenders, who are showing their top-order batters how to bat. Aseni Thalagune, in particular, has been solid, surviving 26 balls, while Pramudi Methsara has managed to play out 13 balls. 

OUT! Parunika Sisodia gets her second wicket in as many overs. Limansa Thilakarathna completely misjudged the line and got herself knocked off for a nine-ball six. Limansa Thilakarathna b Parunika Sisodia 6(9)

OUT! Aayushi Shukla gets her first wicket and claims Shashini Gimhani for a nine-ball three. Another Sri Lanka Women's U19 wicket has gone, and Rashmika Sewwandi's resistant innings came to an end. Sewwandi scored a sturdy knock of 15 from 12 balls. Shashini Gimhani lbw b Aayushi Shukla 3(9)

Sri Lanka have just not managed to get into the groove, after the fall of quick wickets early on. Both Shabnam Shakil and Joshitha V J have rocked the Sri Lankan top order, claiming two wickets apiece. The last wicket of Manudi Nanayakkara was just panic setting in the Lankan line-up. 

OUT! Joshitha gets her second wicket in as many overs. Hiruni Hansika found herself in the crease, with the ball crashing into her pads for an easy leg-before call. This has been a perfect start for India Women U19 bowlers, who have been on the mark in their three overs thus far. Shabnam Shakil, in particular, has been the wrecker in chief, claiming two wickets out of the three. After starring with the bat, Joshitha V J is making her mark with the ball as well, removing Sanjana Kavindi for 5.

Some brutal hitting in the final few overs have helped India Women cross the 100-run mark. For India, Gongadi Trisha top-scored with 49, while Mithila Vinod and Joshitha V J slammed quick 16 and 14. Pramudi Methsara, Limansa Thilakarathna, and Aseni Thalagune claimed two wickets apiece, that helped Sri Lanka Women U19 restrict India under 120. 

As expected India Women's untested U19 batting unit has failed to live up to expectations, and have crumbled against disciplined bowling by Sri Lanka Women's U19. With track assisting the spinners, Sri Lanka have bowled their part-timers well, who have constantly provided the side with breakthroughs. 

OUT! Just as India Women's U19 were looking to up the ante, Sri Lanka Women's U19 have managed to strike back. Aseni Thalagune in her first over, produces a wicket and rid of the well-settled Niki Prasad, who hands a caught and bowled for a 14-ball 11. Niki Prasad c and b Aseni Thalagune 11(14)

After the fall of two quick wickets and a small rain interruption, India women's batters have managed to strike a small stand for the third wicket, with Gongadi Trisha and Niki Prasad adding 30-odd runs. Both batters have looked to play their shots, and not bog down under pressure. 

OUT! Another one bites the dust.  Pramudi Methsara is on a roll and manages to get her second wicket of the over, first dismissing opener G Kamalini for five, and now getting rid of Sanika Chalke for a four-ball duck. India will need to consolidate again and ensure that the bleeding stops quickly. Sanika Chalke c and b Pramudi Methsara 0(4)

India women's U19 openers are out in the middle and will hope to provide the side with a steady and brisk start. This will be for both Gongadi Trisha and G Kamalini, who have largely been untested in the tournament, with India chasing down below-par totals. 

Here are the playing XIs for both sides.
