India’s U-19 women’s team, led by skipper Niki Prasad, remained unbeaten throughout the ICC Under-19 Women’s T20 World Cup 2025 in Malaysia, displaying remarkable skill and dominance. In the final, they defeated South Africa by nine wickets, with Gongadi Trisha earning the ‘Player of the Match’ award for her three-wicket haul and unbeaten 44-run knock.

Trisha emerged as the tournament’s highest run-scorer with 309 runs and also claimed seven wickets, securing the ‘Player of the Tournament’ title. Spinners Vaishnavi Sharma and Aayushi Shukla topped the wicket-taking charts with 17 and 14 wickets, respectively.

Recognizing the team’s stellar performance, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced a ₹5 crore cash reward. Head coach Nooshin Al Khadeer guided the squad to successfully defend their title.

BCCI President Roger Binny praised the team’s success, stating, “This trophy reflects the growth of women’s cricket in India, and I’m extremely delighted to see each member shine in this tournament. I would like to congratulate the entire team, coaches, and the support staff for a fantastic show.”
