India’s Crushing Performance Against Scotland
The Indian team showcased exceptional skill with both bat and ball, putting Scotland on the back foot right from the start. Opening batsmen Ji Kamalini and Trisha Gungadi forged a record partnership for the first wicket, contributing significantly to the team’s total. Kamalini scored an impressive 51 runs off 42 balls, while Trisha unleashed a powerful innings, striking 13 fours and 4 sixes in her breathtaking 110-run performance. Her unbeaten century made her the first player in the Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup to achieve this milestone, and it propelled India to a tournament-best score of 208 runs.
Bowling Woes for Scotland
Chasing a colossal target of 209 runs, Scotland’s batting lineup crumbled under pressure. Indian left-arm spinners Ayushi Shukla and Vaishnavi Sharma wreaked havoc, capturing 7 wickets for just 13 runs, leaving Scotland reeling.
