In stark contrast, India displayed a confident batting performance. Gongadi Trisha emerged as the match's star, delivering a stellar bowling performance followed by a dazzling innings that featured several boundaries. Her 44 runs not only led India to a comfortable victory but also solidified her position at the top of the tournament's run-scorers list, amassing a remarkable total of 309 runs over the course of the tournament—133 runs ahead of her closest competitor.

As Sanika Chalke struck the winning boundary just two balls into the 12th over, celebrations erupted among the Indian team, marking a historic moment in their cricketing journey. With this victory, India has now won both editions of the Women’s Under-19 T20 World Cup, a testament to their growing dominance in women's cricket on the global stage.
