U19 T20 World Cup: India opening batter Trisha Gongadi on Tuesday scripted history in the ICC U19 Women's T20 World Cup as she became the first player to smash a century in the tournament.

The 19-year-old swashbuckling batter reached the milestone during India's Super Six match against Scotland at Bayuemas Oval. The right-handed opener touched the three-figure mark off 53 balls. He remained unbeaten on 110 off 59 balls including 13 fours and four sixes at a strike rate of 186.44.

Trisha was involved in a 147-run opening wicket partnership with G Kamalini, who departed after scoring 51 off 42 balls. The opener again built an unbeaten 61-run stand with Sanika Chalka (29 not out) to guide India to 208/1 in 20 overs.
