Ishan Crawford India beat Scotland by 150 runs in the U19 Women’s T20 World Cup after Gongadi Trisha’s unbeaten 110 lifted the defending champions to 208 for one and Scotland were bowled out for 58 in 14 overs. The ICC match report on India against Scotland placed the Super Six result at Kuala Lumpur on January 28, 2025.
Trisha reached 100 in 53 balls, the first century in the tournament’s short history, and the innings fed a title run that ended five days later with India unbeaten. For a match that looks like a one-name scorecard, the wicket column tells the rest of it.
How India Reached 208 for One
Scotland captain Niamh Muir chose to field first at Bayuemas Oval. The ESPNcricinfo scorecard from Kuala Lumpur logged India at 208 for one after 20 overs, with a run rate of 10.40. Scotland’s chase lasted 84 balls.
| Team | Score | Overs | Top Batting Score | Best Bowling Against Them |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| India Under-19 Women | 208/1 | 20 | Gongadi Trisha 110 not out | Maisie Maceira 1/25 |
| Scotland Under-19 Women | 58 all out | 14 | Pippa Kelly and Emma Walsingham 12 each | Aayushi Shukla 4/8 |
G Kamalini, India’s wicketkeeper opener, made 51 from 42 balls and was the only Indian wicket to fall. She was caught by Muir off Maisie Maceira at 147 in the 14th over, leaving Sanika Chalke to finish the innings with 29 not out from 20 balls.
The total did not come from a late slog after a quiet start. India were already 67 without loss after the six-over powerplay, according to the International Cricket Council (ICC, cricket’s global governing body). Scotland gave away 18 extras, including 10 wides, and no bowler apart from Maceira ended with a wicket.
Trisha Reached 100 in 53 Balls
The century arrived before the final over and finished at 110 not out from 59 balls. Trisha hit 13 fours and four sixes, and the scoring rate in her innings closed at 186.44. The ICC said she was the first batter to make a century at an ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup.
- 67 without loss – India reached that score after the powerplay, with both openers already finding the rope.
- 147 – The opening stand ended when Kamalini fell in the 14th over.
- 209 to win – Scotland’s target was the highest chase set in the tournament to that point.
- 53 balls – Trisha needed that many deliveries to bring up the first hundred in the competition.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI, India’s national cricket governing body) had named the squad in December with Niki Prasad as captain, Sanika Chalke as vice-captain and Trisha listed among a batting group that also included Kamalini, Bhavika Ahire and Ishwari Awasare. The BCCI squad announcement for Malaysia also placed India in Group A with Malaysia, West Indies and Sri Lanka.
Left-Arm Spin Broke the Chase
Scotland began with 33 for one after 5.2 overs. Then the innings collapsed to 42 for seven in the space of 27 balls. Aayushi Shukla, India’s left-arm spinner, bowled Pippa Kelly, Charlotte Nevard and Ammy Baldie, then had Gabriella Fontenla stumped by Kamalini.
Vaishnavi Sharma, another left-arm spinner, removed Emma Walsingham, Muir and Pippa Sproul. Her figures were 3 for 5 from two overs. Shukla’s were 4 for 8 from three. Between them they took seven wickets for 13 runs.
Trisha then added the final three wickets with her off-breaks. Maceira was caught by Chalke, Mollie Parker was lbw, and Kirsty McColl was stumped. Scotland’s innings ended at 58 with Nayma Sheikh 10 not out, the fourth double-figure score in the card.
India used six bowlers in 14 overs. Shabnam Shakil took the new ball without a wicket, Mithila Vinod bowled three overs for 20, and Sonam Yadav went for six in two overs. The innings was settled by spin, and by the time Scotland reached the drinks break the chase had already run out of room.
The Super Six Route Was Already Open
The match sat in Super Six Group 1, where teams carried forward points from qualifying group matches against sides that also advanced. The ICC tournament guide for Malaysia laid out a 16-team event across 41 matches and four venues, with the top three from each group moving into the Super Six stage.
India arrived there unbeaten. BCCI’s tournament recap said the side had bowled West Indies out for 44 in its opener, dismissed hosts Malaysia for 31 in the second match, and then beat Sri Lanka by 60 runs. Bangladesh were held to 64 for eight in the first Super Six match before India chased the target in 7.1 overs.
The Scotland game gave India two more points and a net run rate cushion that was already difficult to chase. ESPNcricinfo’s table listed India on four Super Six points from two matches, with Sri Lanka on three and Australia on two in the same group at that point. Net run rate (NRR, the runs-per-over gap used to separate teams level on points) had India at 7.036.
That is why a 150-run margin had value beyond the scoreboard. Semi-final places in short tournaments can turn on one poor over or one rain-hit match. India had given itself enough scoring and bowling margin to remove most of that noise.
Scotland’s Path Started in Group D
Scotland came through Group D with Australia, Bangladesh and Nepal. The scorecard table listed Scotland with one win and two defeats in the opening stage before the Super Six, enough to keep the side alive against India but with no spare margin left.
The difference at Bayuemas Oval was visible in ball-striking depth. India had three batters face the whole innings. Scotland had 11 players bat and only four reached double figures. Kelly and Walsingham made 12 each, Sproul made 11, and Sheikh was stranded at the end.
That gap does not sit only inside one youth match. CN Media has also covered Cricket Scotland’s call for Associate nations to confront calendar pressure, a senior-game issue that flows down to age-group cricket when young players need more hard fixtures against stronger opposition.
Scotland still left with a World Cup stage, a Super Six place and bowlers who had faced one of the best batting innings the competition had seen. For an Associate side, that is part of the bargain. The education arrives in public.
The Century Carried Into Trophy Week
India beat England in the semi-final and South Africa in the final. The ICC player of the tournament release said Trisha finished with 309 runs in seven innings, 133 clear of the next batter, and also took nine wickets.
- 309 runs – Trisha’s tournament aggregate, the highest in the event.
- 9 wickets – Her bowling return across the competition.
- 17 wickets – Vaishnavi Sharma’s tournament haul, the most by any player.
- 14 wickets – Aayushi Shukla’s total, second on the tournament list.
The ICC later named four India players in its Team of the Tournament: Trisha, Kamalini, Aayushi and Vaishnavi. South Africa’s Kayla Reyneke captained that side, with Jemma Botha, Davina Perrin, Caoimhe Bray, Puja Mahato, Katie Jones, Chamodi Praboda and Nthabiseng Nini also included.
I want to play for my country and win more matches. Winning this again is simply superb.
Trisha said that after India beat South Africa by nine wickets in the final. The BCCI title statement and cash award note announced INR 5 crore for the squad and support staff led by head coach Nooshin Al Khadeer.
The Scotland result now reads like the middle page of a championship run. India had a record hundred, a 150-run margin and three spinners who split 10 wickets between them. Five days later, the same squad had the trophy.
