India clinched the inaugural ACC Under-19 Women's Asia Cup 2024 title with a 41-run victory over Bangladesh in a low-scoring match yet gripping final at the Bayuemas Oval in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday.

Bangladesh won the toss and opted to field first inviting India to bat first. The Tigresses restricted India to 117 for seven in 20 overs. The backbone of India's innings was a composed half-century by Gongadi Trisha, who anchored the innings with a 47-ball 52 laced with five exquisite boundaries and two over boundaries. Despite regular setbacks at the other end, Trisha's mature knock ensured India posted a competitive total.

Bangladesh's bowlers were impressive led by the fiery Farzana Easmin, who claimed four wickets for 31 runs including a pivotal double strike in the 14th over. Nishita Akter Nishi picked up two wickets, while Habiba Islam Pinky contributed with one showcasing disciplined and tactical bowling to keep India in check.

In response, Bangladesh's chase faltered early losing opener Mosammat Eva for a duck and Sumaiya Akter for just eight. While Juairiya Ferdous (22) and Fahomida Choya (18) showed some resistance, the rest of the lineup crumbled under pressure managing only 76 runs before being bowled out in the 3rd delivery of the 19th over.

Aayushi Shukla led India's bowling attack with a superb spell, who took three wickets for just 17 runs. Parunika Sisodia and Sonam Yadav provided crucial support with two wickets each, while VJ Joshitha chipped in with one to dismantle Bangladesh's middle order with precision and control.

Gongadi Trisha was adjudged Player of the Match for her match-defining innings cementing her place as the star of the final.
