Devi cost a little extra, but on February 17, she saw the key firings of Scrivens and Niamh Holland (10).Despite Ryana MacDonald-resilience, Gay's England was unable to complete their allotted number of overs because wickets kept falling (19).With 17 balls remaining, the final wicket fell, giving India a 69-point victory goal.Lightning did not strike again, despite the incredible escape that England had pulled off against Australia in the semifinal.Early on, Shafali Verma's bold 15 off 11 balls chopped into the target, but the loss of both openers briefly gave India pause. Before Scrivens had Shweta Sehrawat removed, Hannah Baker had Verma captured.However, Soumya Tiwari and Gongadi Trisha worked well together to resolve the conflict.When Trisha went for the glory and was cleaned up by Alexa Stonehouse, the two were only one hit away from the objective.However, India didn't have to wait long for the decisive blow. Soumya Tiwari scored an undefeated 24* from 37 balls, which was just what her team needed on such a huge platform.And there were enormous celebrations when India won the inaugural ICC U19 Women's T20 World Championship.
