Well, the celebrations will carry on for long throughout the day for India, but that's all we have from the first edition of the ICC Women's Under-19 T20 World Cup 2023. Do switch tabs and follow over live coverage of the 2nd T20I between India and New Zealand here. For now, on behalf of Srivathsa, this is Navjeevan signing off. Take care and stay safe.
The World Cup Trophy is presented to Shafali and it is now time for the celebrations. Confetti all over the team and the support staff join them.
Shafali Verma | India skipper who sheds a tear or two as she speaks: The way all the girls are performing and backing each other, so happy. Incredible feeling. Thanks to the staff, the way they have been backing us everyday. The players have been backing me a lot. Thanks to BCCI for giving me this beautiful team and really happy for winning the cup. She [Shweta Sehrawat] has been excellent. Not just her the others have been really incredible as well. No, the big one also [When asked if this is the only major trophy she's going to pick up this February].
England and India's turn to receive their medals.
Grace Scrivens | England skipper and Player of the Tournament: Quite pleased. I never really played abroad, it was an amazing experience. Had to adapt to different conditions. We train a lot in the nets and try and put that practice in the middle. Our batting let us down today. All these girls are unbelievable and I love captaining this side. Really pleased with the support from the fans.
Titas Sadhu | Player of the Match: It's really surreal. Have been looking forward to this day for a long time. We had a plan in our mind, and thankfully we executed what we planned. We have played 2 matches and watched all the games that happened here, and had a pretty good idea where to bowl. I want to thank the supporters and fans.
Now medals being presented to the match officials and then it will be to the players.
India Head Coach | Nooshin Al Khadeer: It was special for us to play in this tournament. We just planned to keep things simple after facing a defeat against Australia. It was all special to play in this final right from the time the National anthems were sung till the moment we won it here. We have waited a long time for this moment and Indian women's cricket has a very good future ahead.
Match result: India won by 7 wickets
Innings summary: India 69/3 14 overs
Soumya Tiwari 24 | Hannah Baker 1/13
India win the maiden ICC Women's Under-19 T20 World Cup. What a moment for Shafali Verma and Co.
68 was too less of a target and despite India losing Shafali early, the duo of Soumya Tiwari and Gongadi Trisha added 46 in a sensible partnership which shut the door totally on England.
A convincing win in a big final with India impressing on the field and with the ball.
That's what set it up and then the chase was a formality.
This is a day that these young girls will remember for the rest of their lives.
Stay tuned for the presentation...
