India Women Defend ICC U19 T20 World Cup Title
One of the key moments came when India’s women’s Under-19 team successfully defended their ICC Women’s U19 T20 World Cup title.

They won all their group and Super Six matches, beat England by nine wickets in the semifinal, and then defeated South Africa by nine wickets in the final. The team was led by Nikita Prasad, while Gongadi Trisha was named Player of the Tournament after scoring 309 runs and taking seven wickets.

Another major highlight was India’s Asia Cup triumph in the T20 format, where Pakistan was beaten three times in the same tournament. India topped Group A by defeating Pakistan, UAE, and Oman, and then repeated their dominance in the Super 4s by again beating Pakistan along with Sri Lanka and Bangladesh. In the final in Dubai, India chased down 147 against Pakistan to win by five wickets and retain the Asia Cup title under Suryakumar Yadav’s captaincy.

Rohit Sharma led from the front with a match-winning 76 in the final, sealing another ICC title for India.
