India Women won the first inaugural under-19 T20 World Cup in style.

Match Analysis:
England Women batting let them down. The bowlers did not have enough runs on the board to defend.
India Women bowling, fielding and catching was excellent. Though they did drop few catches but took a few stunners too.
The job for the indian batters was less challenging as the bowling restricted the opposition team to a very small total.
This is the first international win for the Indian Women. The senior team has yet to win a tournament. Let's hope this inspires the senior team and they win the women's T20 world cup, starting from 10th February 2023.
