U19WC: India Women Begin Title Defense With 9-wicket Win Over West Indies
U19 World Cup: Parunika Sisodia, Joshitha VJ, and Aayushi Shukla picked seven wickets between themselves as India began their U19 World Cup title defence in fiery style with a commanding nine-wicket win over the West Indies at the Bayuemas Oval on Sunday.
After winning the toss and electing to bowl first, India were in control from the word go to take control of the proceedings. Pacer Joshitha, named Player of the Match, dented West Indies early by taking 2-5 in two overs, before Parunika (3-7) and Aayushi (2-6) shone to bowl them out for just 44 in 13.2 overs.
India were also helped by the fact that the West Indies’ shoddy running between the wickets gave them three scalps. In reply, India managed to chase down the total in only 4.2 overs with nine wickets in hand, as vice-captain Sanika Chalke and wicketkeeper G Kamalini remained unbeaten on 18 and 16 respectively.
