Defending champions India on Sunday made a winning start to their ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup 2025 campaign as they brushed aside West Indies with a nine-wicket victory in their Group A opener at the Bayuemas Oval in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on Sunday.
Indian women’s U19 cricket team won the toss and elected to field first. The Indian team dominated the West Indies batting attack with their ferocious bowling attack and picked up wickets at regular intervals to bundle out West Indies for 44 in 13.2 overs.
India’s VJ Joshitha picked up first two wickets off successive deliveries in the fourth over as she dismissed West Indies skipper Samara Ramnath and Naijanni Cumberbatch.
In the next two overs, Jahzara Claxton and Brianna Harricharan too walked back to the pavilion.
