India U-19 vs England – Women’s T20 World Cup Semi-Final Preview
India’s U-19 women’s cricket team will try to extend its run in the Women’s U-19 T20 World Cup. They face England in the semi-final on Friday. Niki Prasad’s squad has been unstoppable. They beat Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Scotland.
In their last Super Six match, India crushed Scotland by 150 runs. This win made them the tournament favorites. With both their batting and bowling units firing, India is the team to beat in the semi-final.
Gongadi Trisha Leads India’s Batting Charge
In-form opener Gongadi Trisha has been a standout. She has scored 230 runs in five matches, with an average of 76.66. She scored a stunning 110 off 59 balls against Scotland. G Kamalini supported her with 51 off 42 deliveries.
| Player | Matches | Runs | Average | Highest Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gongadi Trisha (IND) | 5 | 230 | 76.66 | 110 |
| Davina Perrin (ENG) | 4 | 131 | 32.75 | 50 |
In comparison, England’s top scorer, Davina Perrin, has 131 runs at an average of 32.75. This makes India’s batting a tough challenge for opponents.
Vaishnavi Sharma and Aayushi Shukla Dominate with the Ball
India’s bowling attack has been equally impressive. Vaishnavi Sharma and Aayushi Shukla lead, with 12 and 10 wickets, respectively. India, with Sharma’s 3/5, Shukla’s 4/8, and Trisha’s 3/6, dismissed Scotland for 58 runs in 14 overs.

| Aayushi Shukla (IND) | 10 | 4/8 |
England Faces Tough Challenge Against India’s All-Round Strength
England’s campaign has been inconsistent. They won two and lost two of their Super Six matches. Their recent form before the semi-final does not inspire confidence. They must unite to counter India’s strong batting and disciplined bowling.
