Women’s Under-19s T20 World Cup: England knocked out of semi-final by India
England suffered a heavy nine-wicket semi-final defeat by defending champions India to crash out of the Under-19s T20 World Cup.
After choosing to bat first, England were in a healthy position at 81-2 before the loss of six wickets for 11 runs meant they stuttered to 113-8 from 20 overs.
Opener Davina Perrin made 45 and captain Abi Norgrove scored 30 before the former’s dismissal in the 12th over sparked the collapse.
Left-arm spinners Parunika Sisodia and Vaishnavi Sharma finished with three wickets each.
India reached the target inside 15 overs with Garima Kamalini scoring an unbeaten 56 from 50 balls, with support from opening partner Gongadi Trisha, who made 35 before becoming the only wicket to fall to off-spinner Phoebe Brett.
India, who beat England to win the previous Under-19s title, will face South Africa in Sunday’s final after they beat Australia by five wickets.
