Indian Female Cricketers Created History: Won U19 T20 World Cup 2023

India was crowned the first-ever ICC Women's T20 World Cup. The Indian team, led by Shafali Verma, prevailed against the English side by seven wickets.

On Sunday at the Senwes Park stadium in South Africa, the Indian U19 Women's cricket team made history by winning their match. India became the first women's Indian cricket team to win a world championship after defeating England in the final of the Women’s T20 World Cup by a score of seven wickets.

The India captain, Shafali Verma, got her team off to a great start in their quest to win the world cup by blasting a magnificent four off Hannah Baker's ball. The target was 69.  Baker then provided a significant advantage for her team when she eliminated Shafali for 15 off 11 points. Bowlers from England attempted to regain control of the game.

England skipper Grace Scrivens dismissed dangerous batter Shweta Sehrawat for a score of five runs in six balls. The next batter to step up to the plate was Gongadi Trisha. While Trisha took on the anchor role, Soumya Tiwari was responsible for maintaining some assertive boundaries. 

After the first ten overs, India needed to score 21 runs in the remaining 60 balls to win. After that, Gongadi Trisha opened her hands and proceeded to hammer Ellie Anderson with back-to-back two fours. Alexa Stonehouse got rid of the hitter Gongadi Trisha in the 13th innings by dismissing her for 24 runs off 29 deliveries. 

Indian bowlers could completely take control of the game from the beginning of the top match against England, which they won by opting to field first. Liberty Heap, the first batter for England, was run out by Titas Sadhu for a duck on the second delivery of the innings, giving India their first wicket.

Grace Scrivens and Niamh Fiona Holland, who were playing some boundary shots together, attempted to cope with the pressure while doing so. However, Holland could not maintain her position on the crease for too long before being sent back to the pavilion. After Holland's wicket, the English batters could not maintain their ground for very long.

Finally they lost their wickets at regular intervals in the face of the fantastic bowling performance put on by the Indian bowlers. India took the initiative early on by bowling the first ball of the match. They frequently struck the England Women's Under-19 team and ultimately bowled them out for 68 runs. 

The Final Showdown Performance Of The Indian U19 Women's Cricket Team 

The bowlers were essential to the success of the team. In the first over, Sadhu removed the potentially dangerous Liberty Heap, which resulted in the opener spooning an easy return catch. The off-spinner Archana Devi then dealt a further blow to England by claiming the wickets of Grace Scrivens and Niamh Holland inside a single over space. 

The main cause of Scrivens' demise was an outstanding catch made by Trisha at long-off, and she took the blame. The England Under-19 team was bowled out in the 18th over, even though wickets continued to fall at regular intervals throughout the innings. In the end, England's relatively low score had to be enough along the lines that had been expected.

Gongadi Trisha and Soumya Tiwari scored crucial goals as India sealed the Women's Under-19 World Cup with a spectacular seven-wicket triumph over England Under-19. Titas Sadhu, Archana Devi, and Parshavi Chopra each got two wickets in the match. India had already lost Shafali Verma and Shweta Sehrawat at the end of the fourth over.

Trisha and Tiwari worked together to sew a stand of 46, which more or less cemented the business transaction. To keep the scoring moving forward, the duo completed the drive, the flip, and the cut. Tiwari was also spared because she was let off the hook by being dropped off at Hannah Barker's house.

In the 13th over, the left-arm medium pacer Alex Stonehouse was responsible for Trisha's dismissal. Tiwari got a double, and a single in the next over that Barker delivered, allowing India to move their score higher than England's. At Potchefstroom, the celebrations were in full swing as Shafali, and the rest of her team raced onto the field to celebrate their victory. 

Whole Fraternity Congratulated The Indian U19 Women Cricket Team 

The cricket community congratulated the Indian U19 Women's Cricket team on winning the first-ever ICC Women's U19 World Cup. The captain of the India team, Rohit Sharma, along with other seasoned players, including Virat Kohli, Sourav Ganguly, and others, praised the performance of the India eves. 

Virat Kohli, expressed his admiration for the Indian team on social media. He wrote, "Champion of the Under-19 World Cup! What a memorable instant it was! I'd like to offer my congratulations to you, ladies, on your victory." Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Shafali Verma and the rest of the team for their remarkable victory. 

BCCI secretary Jay Shah announced that the team and the personnel would receive an award worth 5 crores. He commented, "Women's Cricket in India is increasing, and the World Cup victory has raised the prominence of women's cricket several notches higher." It refers to India's women's cricket team recently winning the ICC Women’s U19 World Cup 2023. 

Final Thoughts

The Indian U19 women's cricket team has truly demonstrated their skill and determination by winning the U19 Women's World Cup 2023. The players have shown remarkable sportsmanship and teamwork, bringing their A-game to the field and making India proud. The Indian women cricketers have made a mark on the world stage.

Their unwavering passion for the sport and fierce competitiveness has inspired a generation of young girls to take up cricket and follow in their footsteps. It is a testament to the growth and development of women's cricket in India, and we can only expect greater achievements in the future. We are thrilled to see them bring home the trophy.

WPL 2024: With Aims Clearly In Sight, Shweta Sehrawat Eager To Capitalize On Dream-like Run

Equal Hue Cricket Excellence Programme: At first glance, Shweta Sehrawat seems like a regular teenager who enjoys watching movies and playing games in her free time, as well as partaking in fun activities such as going on outings outside Delhi or doing some shopping. However, if you consider her recent achievements in cricket over the past year and a half, Shweta is anything but an ordinary teenager. There's a rare sense of excitement and clarity in the right-handed batter's voice when she discusses how performing as a leader brings out her best. Shweta’s first tryst with taking up the leadership mantle came as the captain of Delhi U19 side and leading India U19 ‘B’ team in Challenger Trophy. It was followed by leading the side to wins in the quadrangular series featuring Sri Lanka and West Indies, as well as a series win over New Zealand in Mumbai, before Shafali Verma led the team in tri-series in South Africa and in the U19 World Cup. “I believe I put up good performances when I am entrusted with leadership roles, as I really like taking that responsibility of the team on my shoulders. Plus, there’s also a feeling within me that ‘If I bat on from one end, then others can bat around me’, which is why I really like to thrive as a batter with a leadership responsibility,” says Shweta in a free-wheeling chat with IANS, facilitated by UP Warriorz. Over the past one-and-a-half years, Shweta has rapidly climbed the ladder of success in women's cricket. She scored 297 runs with an outstanding average of 99. Moreover, she emerged as the top run-scorer in India’s triumphant 2023 U19 Women's T20 World Cup campaign, leaving a lasting impression with her unbeaten 92 off just 57 balls against hosts South Africa. UP Warriorz picked Shweta for the inaugural WPL season last year, but she managed just 34 runs from six games. Due to constant shuffling, her batting position was never stable, and was even left out of the side. Shweta then skippered India ‘A’ to winning the Emerging Women’s Asia Cup in Hong Kong, where constant rain meant the side got to play only two matches. “The last one and a half years has been an absolute dream time for me - the U19 World Cup win, especially when the country hadn’t got a global trophy in women’s cricket. For me, that was the best-ever feeling and is still very memorable.” “Then bringing the Emerging Women’s Asia Cup trophy as a leader is also a memorable moment. Also, I performed very well in the senior tournaments in domestic cricket. So, everything is on track and WPL in hand has made me feel like it’s kinda been a dreamlike time for me and it feels really good,” she says. Two years before becoming a member of India’s U19 World Cup squad, Shweta had a poster in her room that read, “World Cup Champion!”. Asked about her latest poster, her leader-like clarity strikes again. “There’s a poster, but it’s on my phone. It’s a poster about the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup in India, the aim to play in that tournament.” While WPL 2023 didn't result in a bucket full of runs for her, Shweta gained crucial knowledge on how to overcome her shyness and become a more effective communicator. “I am a bit of a shy nature, so in the first season of WPL, it became a little difficult for me to communicate initially.” “I wasn’t opening up about talks around the game and I learnt from WPL 2023 that how to initiate that communication, put forward your thoughts and express yourself in such a way that you get the solution you are looking for. I got a lot of help in terms of communication and in cricketing terms, I learnt a lot of new things from the players as well as Jon (Lewis, head coach) sir and Ashley (Noffke, bowling coach).” Whenever she opened the batting in the yellow and purple jersey of the Warriorz, Shweta partnered with Australia skipper Alyssa Healy at the top. “I didn’t talk much with her, but then I used to see a lot of her batting at the nets and there were some shots coming off her bat which I was seeing constantly. I used to stand behind her when she was practising her batting and would observe how she would be inventive in her strokeplay,” she recalls. Shweta also learned how to prepare for matches and the game-related scenarios from her time with the Warriorz. “Our practice sessions are very specific, like we are given different match-related situations.” “Thing is, if we get solutions of tacking those game-related situations in practice and handle the pressure associated with it, then it becomes easier to get to grips about it when that happens in an actual match. Through this, we become aware about facing situations like that in the match and how to react to it.” Shweta comes into WPL 2024 on the back of a stellar run in the recent domestic cricket season for Delhi. Armed with an ability to pick gaps with ease and play shots all around the park, Shweta was 11th in the run-scorers list of senior women’s T20 trophy with 229 runs in six innings at an average of 45.80 and a strike-rate of 122.45, including hitting two fifties. In the senior women’s one-day trophy, Shweta was the tournament’s top run-scorer with 462 runs in eight innings at an average of 66 and strike-rate of 110.79, smashing two fifties and a jaw-dropping 242 against Nagaland at the MECON Ground in Ranchi. In between, she bagged the Most Promising Athlete of the Year award by GoSports Foundation, who support her and 12 other cricketers, including Titas Sadhu and Kashvee Gautam, through the Equal Hue Cricket Excellence Programme. “My batting approach is generally attacking. If I get a ball to hit early on, I will hit that ball hard for a boundary and I don’t hesitate in doing that. The most special thing about that knock was that people generally think that teams like that are a bit light to play against. But I feel that no team is to be taken lightly in the domestic season.” “The best thing about that knock was I played in such a manner that I didn’t give them any chance to get me out in any way. Apart from that, the other most-liked aspect of that knock for me was batting for a long duration and remaining focused all the time,” recalls Shweta. Mandeep Kaur, Delhi’s fielding coach, was one of the few fortunate persons at the ground to see Shweta’s astonishing 242, laced with 31 fours and seven sixes. “It was extraordinary; she was very dominating, very confident, it was a totally different knock from her bat.” “From the very first ball, she looked to score and was hitting at every ball coming her way. In cricket we say, ‘once you get the chance, just score on and on’, she played that kind of knock that day. It was a special knock to witness since it was a chanceless one,” she said to IANS. Shweta credits her improved fitness during the domestic season for her impressive performances. “I did a lot of ground work and gym-related activities this time for a longer duration, due to which my endurance and speed levels have increased.” To improve herself as a batter, Shweta watches countless batting videos of Ellyse Perry and Danni Wyatt, who is now part of her team at Warriorz. “I really like Danni’s shots over covers, which look very amazing. I really adore Perry’s consistency and how in every match she remains so focused to put up consistent performances. Plus her fielding skills are a big plus point.” Asked if she’s met Danni yet to learn about the art of her shots over covers, Shweta bursts into a laugh and says, “With Danni now in my team, I will definitely ask her about how she plays those shots over covers. I had just met her by the pool side, but I didn’t have the courage to go and talk to her, so I haven’t met her yet. I just hope to meet and speak to her in the coming days.” Shweta, also an English honors student, appreciates the role of family, friends, and coaches in maintaining a balance between cricket and studies. “Initially it was tough, as I attended only last seven days of the NCA camp (for the U19 team) due to Board exams.” “But then I put in good performances, including hitting a century and people there saw potential in me, so they took me in the team. As of now, my studies are online, so the slots are adjusted online as per the timings. For me, reaching here at this stage, the environment back home matters a lot.” Playing for the Warriorz in WPL 2023 allowed Shweta to get a glimpse towards being flexible with her batting position based on the team's needs. With her coach Dipti Dhyani's advice, she is eager to give it her all in the upcoming season. “It depends on team combination and as per what the team’s needs are with regards to my batting position. I always look to be at my best and contribute for the team wherever possible which goes in a positive way.” “Wherever I bat or play matches, whether it’s WPL or domestic cricket, the intention has always been to perform to the best of abilities and make the team win, after that, its upto the selectors. The best advice I got from Dipti mam was ‘one should always follow their routines and, irrespective of what the result is, give your 100% to anything you set out to do’.” According to Shweta, playing in her hometown of Delhi during the second half of WPL 2024 will be a lot of fun. “When I played in front of a packed crowd in WPL 2023, I was very nervous. But I will be fine this time. It will be a lot of fun when the WPL matches will happen in Delhi, as all my family members will come and enjoy a lot.” Mandeep first spotted Shweta in the Delhi senior team during the domestic season hit by Covid-19. The sight of her scoring a century in a match convinced Mandeep that the youngster is bound for greatness. “She’s a great fielder too; she mostly fields at mid-on, but is capable of fielding anywhere in outfield and infield.” “Shweta’s form has been really good as an opener. She’s a very good and formidable player who doesn’t play slow on the wicket and maintains her strike-rate well. So I wish to see her continue in the same vein in the WPL, like she did for Delhi in the domestic season, so that she can reach greater heights in women’s cricket.” Read the full article

However, an alert Carey effected a direct-hit at the striker’s end to catch Bairstow well short of his ground, leaving the batter fuming.

Angelo Mathews becomes first batter to be timed out (November 06)Controversy erupted during the game between Sri Lanka and Bangladesh when SL all-rounder Angelo Mathews was given ‘timed-out’.

The Aussies, chasing 291 for victory, found themselves in a precarious situation when the team was reduced to 91 for seven. But the ‘freakshow’ decided to take matters into his own hands. Riding on two dropped catches and a cramping left leg, Maxwell smashed a maiden double-century, a 128-ball 201 that some pundits consider the greatest ODI innings of all time.ICC suspends Sri Lanka Cricket (November 10)The Sri Lankan Cricket Board was found to be in breach of contract rules with the ICC, when the country’s Sports Ministry dismissed the board and replaced it with an interim committee following the country’s poor performance at this year’s World Cup. Sports Minister Roshan Ranasinghe called SLC “traitorous and corrupt” in a statement to parliament on November 3, saying board members should resign, and an interim committee chaired by former World Cup-winning captain Arjuna Ranatunga was formed.King surpasses God (November 15) India’s Virat Kohli celebrates his 50th century, breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s record for most ODI hundreds. | Photo Credit: PTI India’s Virat Kohli celebrates his 50th century, breaking Sachin Tendulkar’s record for most ODI hundreds. | Photo Credit: PTI Records are made to be broken. All records but one. At least that is what the cricketing fraternity thought of Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 49 ODI centuries for the longest time. But come 15 November, this record was broken too. Virat Kohli’s comeback after his lean patch saw him inch closer and closer to this historic landmark and the inevitable finally happened in the semifinal against New Zealand. Australia crowned World Cup champion (November 19)The final between India and Australia was a tale of two different stories. For India, a victory would have ended the decade-long wait for an ICC trophy, and it would have also been the perfect redemption for 2003 World Cup final defeat. For the Aussies, a World Cup victory would have rounded off a perfect year in which the team also won the World Test Championship. It was the Men from Down Under who eventually prevailed. Some tight bowling restricted the Indians to a below par total of 240, which the Australians chased with ease, thanks to Travis Head’s century. The victory saw Australia win the World Cup for a record sixth time. Hardik Pandya traded to MI, Green goes to RCB (November 26)In arguably the biggest trade in the history of the IPL, all-rounder Hardik Pandya switched back to his old franchise in an all-cash deal of 17.5 crore. Pandya and Gujarat had an immensely successful two seasons together, winning the title in the first and reaching the final in the second season. To clear funds for the Pandya trade, MI traded Cameron Green to RCB.DECEMBERWomen’s IPL auction (December 09)Kashvee Gautam became the most expensive uncapped player when she was sold to Gujarat Giants for Rs. 2 crore. Some of the other top buys included Annabel Sutherland (Rs. 2 crore to DC) and Vrinda Dinesh (Rs. 1.3 crore to UP Warriorz).Pandya named MI captain (December 15)MI’s transition with an eye on the future started when it named Hardik Pandya as the new captain for the 2024 season. According to reports, the 30-year old’s deal included an agreement that Pandya would be named captain.Haryana wins maiden Vijay Hazare Trophy (December 16)Haryana beat Rajasthan in the final to win its first ever Vijay Hazare Trophy title. After opting to bat first, Haryana put up a decent score of 287 for the loss of eight wickets. Rajasthan was bowled out for 257, thanks to Sumit Kumar and Harshal Patel’s three wicket-hauls.

SRH acquired the services of Pat Cummins for Rs. 20.50 crore, while fellow Aussie Mitchell Starc went to KKR for a whopping Rs. 24.75 crore. India Women beats Australia Women in Test (December 21)The undisputed Australian Test cricket team endured its first loss ever at the hands of the Indian team. The India women were comprehensive from start to finish, as they utilised home conditions effectively to register an eight-wicket win.Tom Curran banned from four BBL games (December 21)He was charged over an incident on 11 December before a game against Hobart Hurricanes in Launceston. In the build-up to the match, the fourth umpire - who is tasked with supervising the pitch - asked Curran not to run on the pitch. But the 28-year-old was seen practicing his bowling run-up, running towards the umpire and the pitch, despite the warning given. The incident was deemed to be “intimidation or attempted intimidation of an umpire or match referee” under the Cricket Australia code.ICC rejects Khawaja’s bid to wear dove sticker on bat and shoes during Boxing Day Test (December 26) Usman Khawaja in action against Pakistan. | Photo Credit: AP Usman Khawaja in action against Pakistan. | Photo Credit: AP The Australian opener found himself in the middle of a controversial debate when he was barred from sporting a dove sticker on his bat and shoes condemning the current situation in the Israel-Palestine war. The 37-year-old was earlier reprimanded for sporting a black armband after the global body’s rules prevented him from wearing shoes with messages of support for Gaza in the first Test against Pakistan. Khawaja had the messages “Freedom is a human right” and “All lives are equal” on his boots in the colours of the Palestinian flag during training before the opening Test of the three-match series last week, which the host won by 360 runs in Perth. Many cricketers have came out in support of Khawaja since. [ad_2] Source link
