Twitter reacts to India’s World Cup triumph in U-19 T20 Women’s World Cup
The Shafali Verma-led India U-19 squad managed to lift the ICC inaugural U-19 World Cup with an emphatic seven-wicket victory over England.
India first bowled out England for 68 in 17.1 overs and chased down the target in 14 overs to lift the trophy.
India’s bowling attack, led pacer Titas Sadhu and supported leg-spinner Parshavi Chopra, set up the comprehensive win with figures of 4-0-6-2, 4-0-13-2 respectively.
Chasing a low total, Soumya Tiwari and Gongadi Trisha took India home with seven overs to spare. After the match, Twitter was full of praise for the World Champions.
Here are all the reactions from that victory:
Very happy to see the hard work put in @NooshinKhadeer coming to fruition in such a splendid manner! Heartiest congratulations and wishing you many more such successful campaigns in the future. 👏#U19T20WorldCup

Women’s Cricket in India is on the upswing and the World Cup triumph has taken the stature of women’s cricket several notches higher. I am delighted to announce INR 5 crore for the entire team and support staff as prize money. This is surely a path-breaking year.
