U19 Women's World Cup HIGHLIGHTS: India crowned Champions
SHAFALI, OUT!
Shafali Verma walks back early yet again. Tries to go over mid-on, but fails to get hold of it miserably. A good low catch by Alexa Stonehouse there as Baker has her first wicket.
Soumya Tiwari joins Sehrawat in the middle.
IND: 16/1 (2.1)
First six of the match
Stand and deliver from Shafali Verma as she stays in her crease and hits Sophia Smale for a six at long-off. Easy Peasy for the Indian skipper.
IND: 16/0 (2)
5 off the first over
An intriguing opening over as Shafali pockets a boundary off the very first delivery, before Baker tightens things up. Some prodigious turn for the leg-spinner.
IND: 5/0 (1)
Shafali-Shweta out in the middle
Shafali Verma and Shweta Sehrawat are out in the middle for India. Hannah Baker with the ball for England.
Remember, England defended 99 in the semifinal against Australia - the only team India lost to in the World Cup. This chase is going to be as straightforward as you think.
"Will keep it simple"
"We just wanted to enjoy the 3 hours we are playing. Our spinners are doing well, as the only seamer my aim was to give a good start. It is flat (pitch) with a bit of bounce. We will keep it simple and approach the powerplay as we usually do," says Titas Sadhu.
ENGLAND, ALL OUT!
Sophia Smale gifts a return catch to Sonam Yadav to ensure all Indian bowlers finish with atleast wicket. That also brings an end to a sorry display with the bat from England.
ENG: 68/10 (17.1)
Mannat Kashyap STRIKES!
She was kept quiet till now today, but Mannat Kashyap too gets into the act. Alexa Stonehouse chips a shot straight to Sonam Yadav at covers. 9 down.
ENG: 68/9 (16.4)
