India Extends Lead at 2nd Place in ICC Trophy Count with U19 Women's T20 World Cup Win; Australia Still on Top

India's U19 women's cricket team clinched their second consecutive ICC Women's U19 T20 World Cup title with a dominant nine-wicket victory over South Africa in Kuala Lumpur on February 2, 2025. This triumph not only underscores India's growing prominence in women's cricket but also adds to their tally of ICC trophies, solidifying their second-place position with a total of 13 titles. Australia remains at the top with 15 ICC trophies.

In the final, India's bowlers showcased exceptional skill, restricting South Africa to a modest total. Gongadi Trisha was the standout performer, taking 3 wickets for 15 runs. She continued her stellar form with the bat, scoring an unbeaten 44 runs, leading India to a comfortable victory in just 11.2 overs.

This back-to-back World Cup success highlights the depth of talent in India's cricketing pipeline and sets a promising precedent for future international competitions.
