Scorecard
India have won the Under-19 T20 World Cup after storming to a nine-wicket victory over South Africa in the final.
Having bowled South Africa out for 82, India needed just 11.2 overs to knock off the runs in Kuala Lumpur.
Gongadi Trisha was the standout performer for India, taking 3-15 with the ball before smashing an unbeaten 44 from 33 balls in the chase.
South Africa won the toss and opted to bat first but were soon in trouble as they slipped to 20-3 in the powerplay and never recovered.
Runs were hard to come by as India's spinners took hold and, with wickets falling at regular intervals, the Proteas' progress was slow before they were eventually bowled out from the last ball of the innings.
There were no such problems for India as Trisha quickly put them in control with a flurry of early boundaries.
The 19-year-old already looks a star of the future and ends as the tournament's leading run-scorer with 309 in seven matches, some 133 runs ahead of England's Davina Perrin in second.
Sanika Chalke was left to hit the winning boundary two balls into the 12th over to start the celebrations for India, who also won the inaugural tournament in 2023.
