Parunika Sisodia (Player of the Match, 3/21): I want to thank my team for all the support throughout, feeling very happy right now. I was thinking of hitting the same spots and letting the ball do the work. I bowl more to batters, it helps me and I need a batter in front of me to try new things. It was the wish and our goal as a unit
14:34 PM IST|| Match Summary: India Women U19 won by 9 wickets.
England Women U19 won the toss and elected to bat first in the semi-final against India at Kuala Lumpur. Openers Davina Perrin and Jemima Spence began aggressively, but their momentum was short-lived. India's introduction of spinners led to a collapse, with England losing wickets at regular intervals.
Despite the setbacks, Davina Perrin and skipper Abi Norgrove played decent knocks, contributing valuable runs to the scoreboard. However, their efforts were insufficient to post a competitive total.
In response, India Women U19's openers, G Kamalini and Gongadi Trisha, adopted a cautious approach initially. As they adjusted to the batting conditions, they began to attack, capitalizing on England's wayward bowling. The English bowlers struggled with their lines and lengths, serving up full tosses that made batting easier for India.
By the end of the powerplay, India was 44/0, with both Kamalini and Trisha scoring comfortably. Phoebe Brett eventually provided the breakthrough for England in the 9th over, dismissing Trisha. However, this merely slowed India's momentum, as they continued to dominate the chase.
Kamalini played a match-winning innings, scoring a half-century to guide India to victory. Her knock ensured India's passage to the final, where they will face South Africa on Sunday.
From England's perspective, their bowling unit struggled to contain India's batters, with only Phoebe Brett showing some intent with her single wicket. Overall, India's superior batting and bowling display earned them a well-deserved spot in the final.
