India finished top of Group A after beating Sri Lanka in a top-of-the-table clash on Thursday, while West Indies secured their spot in the Super Six stage of the Women's Under-19 T20 World Cup 2025 by knocking out Malaysia.
Playing the second game of the day in Kuala Lumpur, India completed their perfect group stage campaign with a resounding 60-run win over Sri Lanka, who had also come into the match on the back of two wins.
Gongadi Trisha's 44-ball 49 helped India put 118 for 9 on the board before their bowlers restricted Sri Lanka to 58 for 9.
India were in trouble early when they lost two wickets in the space of four balls. But Trisha lifted them from 17 for 2 to 78 for 4. Cameos from Mithila Vinod and VJ Joshitha then took India to a formidable total in a match that followed a script similar to the one earlier in the day.
Sri Lanka lost a wicket each in the first five overs as Shabnam Shakil and VJ Joshitha claimed two each and there was a run out.

Rashmika Sewwandi tried to inject some impetus as Sri Lanka added 21 runs for the sixth wicket, but Parunika Sisodia and Ayushi Shukla took three wickets in three overs to put the contest to bed. Sri Lanka's last two batting pairs did well to survive ten overs to avoid getting bowled out, but the match was decided halfway through the chase.

Earlier, West Indies beat hosts Malaysia by 53 runs. Despite scoring just 112 for 7 from their 20 overs, West Indies skittled Malaysia out for 59 to finish third in Group A.

Malaysia, as a result, were knocked out after finishing bottom of the group with three defeats.

Captain Samara Ramnath starred in the virtual knockout fixture for West Indies. She was out for 5 at the top of the order, but then wreaked havoc with the ball, finishing with figures of 4 for 6 - bettered only by five-fors from India's Vaishnavi Sharma and Scotland's Maisie Maceira in this edition.

Malaysia were 38 for 2 after ten overs chasing 113 and that's when Ramnath started a collapse that saw the hosts lose eight wickets for 21 runs. The Malaysia batters were unable to read her as she got all four of her wickets either bowled or lbw.

She got two wickets in her second over, including that of her opposite number Nur Daniya Syuhada, and then picked a third in her next.

Fellow offspinners Naijanni Cumberbatch and Erin Deane then took four wickets in the next three overs before Ramnath completed the rout in the 18th over.

West Indies had been put in to bat and struggled to pick up the pace, but opener Assabi Callender held the innings together with a 42-ball 30, and got them to a total that proved to be more than sufficient.
