Pushing bangladesh

ICC U19 Women: Left-arm spinner Vaishnavi Sharma picked three wickets in an incredible spell while G Trisha smashed a superb 40 as India continued its unbeaten run to storm into the semi-finals of 2025 ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup with a commanding eight-wicket win over Bangladesh at the Bayuemas Oval on Sunday.

Rain in Kuala Lumpur threatened to turn the game into a washout for the second time in the day after the Sri Lanka-Scotland clash was abandoned due to same reasons. But the weather gods showed mercy and ensured a full match was available to play for India and Bangladesh.

Pushing Bangladesh into batting first, defending champions India managed to restrict them to 64/8 in 20 overs, thanks to Vaishnavi picking an effective 3-15, while Trisha, Shabnam Shakil, and Joshitha VJ each chipped in with a wicket. For Bangladesh, only captain Sumaiya Akter (21 not out) and Jannatul Maoua (14) were the only batters to get into double figures.
