Thank you for joining!

That's all we have from the first T20 between India U19 women and New Zealand U19 women. It was a completely lop-sided contest where the Indians have left a mark. 

New Zealand have a lot to work on if they are to be even competitive in this series. Thank you for tuning into our coverage.

INDIA WINS!

Soumya Tiwari (52*) and Sonia Mendhiya (5*) see India through. They have taken a 1-0 lead in this 5-match series.

SHIKHA, RUN OUT!

India lose their third as Shika is caught short of her crease by Nensi Patel.

50* for Tiwari

A beautiful innings this from Soumya Tiwari. She reaches her half-century of just 31 deliveries with 10 boundaries.

IND: 74/2 (9.5)

Just 20 more needed

END OF POWERPLAY

A stunning powerplay for India as they rake up 50 in the first 6 overs. Just 36 runs more needed to win. This should be a cakewalk. Soumya Tiwari has scored 36 off just 20 so far.

G Trisha falls!

The prodigiously talented G Trisha falls cheaply as Amie Hucker gets her second wicket.

IND: 44/2 (5.2)

Shweta goes for a duck

Not the best of starts to the series for skipper Shweta Sehrawat as she departs for a duck. Bowled by Amie Hucker.

Soumya Tiwari on fire

Soumya Tiwari has come out all guns blazing. Four boundaries in the second over and India are off to a flier.

IND: 25/0 (2)

Brilliant start for India

An excellent start to India's chase as Soumya Tiwari finds two boundaries in the very first over. She is accompanied by skipper Shweta Sehrawat.

IND: 9/0 (1)
