Trisha Gongadi’s historic maiden U19 Women’s T20 World Cup hundred

Her remarkable innings of 110 not out from 59 balls propelled India U19 team to an imposing total of 208/1. Trisha’s performance was a masterclass in controlled aggression, combining precision with power. Her stroke play was exemplary, with 14 well-timed boundaries and 2 towering sixes that highlighted her range and technical ability. This was not just a century but a defining moment in the history of the tournament, as Trisha became the first-ever India U19 player to achieve such a feat. Her brilliance with the bat anchored India’s innings and set the stage for a dominant total, solidifying her place as one of the brightest stars in women’s cricket.

A commanding display by India against Scotland

India U19 showcased a clinical and commanding performance in their Super Six encounter against Scotland Women U19, amassing a daunting total of 208/1 in 20 overs. The foundation of India’s imposing score was built by the sensational Gongadi Trisha, whose unbeaten 110 not out off 59 balls anchored the innings with authority. She was well-supported by G Kamalini, who struck a valuable 51 runs, and Sanika Chalke, who contributed a quickfire 29 not out. India’s batting was a balanc?ed mix of aggression and consistency, with Trisha leading the charge as India aimed to set a massive target.

The Indian bowlers, who will take the field later in the match, have a challenging target to defend, but with the kind of dominance displayed in the? bat?ting department, they will back themselves to finish strong. As Scotland U19 prepare to chase, they face an uphill task, needing 209 runs to secure victory. The momentum is squarely with India, and it will take a remarkable effort from Scotland to challenge this total.

The Super Six stage of the ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup 2025 is all set to begin from Saturday (January 25). The confi??rmed schedule brings an exciting mix of matchups as the tournament he?ads into its crucial phase, with a total of 12 matches being played. These matches will determine the teams that will advance to the semi-finals and vie for the ultimate title.

Format of the super six stage

The Super Six stage follows a unique structure that intensifies the co?mpetition. The 12 teams, previously divided into groups, are now split into Group 1 and Group 2. The teams that have progressed from the group stage will now play against those in the opposite group.

The format is designed to avoid any repeated matchups from the group stage, adding more variety and excitement to the Super Six round. Group 1 consists of the top three teams from Group A, who will compete against two qualifiers from Group D. On the other hand, Group 2 wi??ll have teams from Group B, who will face two qualifiers from Group C. The structure also ensures that the top three from each group will get the opportunity to progress further, but crucially, points earned in the group stage against other qualifying teams will carry forward into the Super Six round. This provides te?ams with an extra incentive to perform well early on, as their results in the group stage can have a significant impact on their Super Six prospects.

Team matchups and points carry forward

In the Super Six stage, teams?? will not face the same opponents from the group stage. This rule ensures that all teams are presented with fresh challenges as they look to advance. For example, the Group A winner will only face the second and third-placed teams from Group D, which means the top-ranked teams will be able to strategically target their opponents based on previous results.

The carry-forward of points from the group stage adds another layer of complexity and strategy. Teams that performed well in the group stage will start with an advantage in the Super Six, and this could significantly impact their ability to qualify for the semi-finals. This format ensures that a team’s success in the group stage is not wasted, and their efforts ar?e rewar??ded as they continue in the tournament.

Path to the semi-finals

As teams navigate the Super Six stage, the objective is to finish in the top two positions of their respective groups, which will secure their place in the semi-finals. The format ensures that only the most consistent teams advance, with both the group and Super Six results determining who reaches the final stages of the tournament. This makes every match a high-stakes contest, as teams must perform under pressure to secure a place in the semi-finals and eventually the final, where they will compete for the ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup 2025 title. With all to play for, the Super Six stage promises to deliver some thrilling encounters as the best of the best in youth ??women’s cricket battle for glory.

New Zealand have announced their 15-man squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be held in a hybrid format co-hosted by Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates from February 19 to March 9.

The squad showcases a m??ix of experienced players and emerging talents, but the absence of four notable players from the 2023 ODI World Cup roster has caught the attention of fans and analysts alike.

New Zealand’s performance in the 2023 ODI World Cup

In the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023, the Blackcaps delivered an impressive performance, reaching the semifinals before falling short against hosts India. Despite their valiant efforts, New Zealand was defeated by 70 runs in a high-stakes encounter. Several players who were key contributor?s during the tournament are now conspicuously missing from the Champions Trophy squad.

4 players excluded from New Zealand’s 20?25 Champi??ons Trophy squad after the 2023 World Cup triumph 

1. Trent Boult

Trent Boult, a cornerstone of New Zealand’s bowling attack, has not been included in the Champions Trophy squad. His absence is not a selection decision but a result of his retirement from ODI cricket following New Zealand’s semifinal loss in 2023. Boult’s impact on the tournament was significant, claiming 14 wickets in 10 matches and playing a pivotal role in guiding the Blackcaps to the knockout stage. His retirement marks the conclusion of a stellar ODI career, leaving an indelible legacy.

2. Jimmy Neesham

All-rounder Jimmy Neesham, who had a limited role in the 2023 World Cup, has also been left out. Neesham featured in just three matches, scoring 58 runs and taking two wickets. His performance, coupled with inconsistent form, likely contributed to his exclusion. His last appearance came against South Africa in November 2023, and he has struggled to regain his peak fo???rm since.

3. Ish Sodhi

Leg-spinner Ish Sodhi, another player from the 2023 World Cup squad, is missing from the Champions Trophy lineup. Sodhi played only one match in the World Cup and failed to claim any wickets. His last international outing was against Sri Lanka in November 2024. With limited opportunities and an underwhelming performance, Sodhi’s exclusion signals New Zealand’s pivot toward other spinning options.

4.Tim Southee

Tim Southee, one of New Zealand’s most seasoned bowlers, has also stepped away from the ODI format. Like Boult, Southee retired from ODI after the 2023 World Cup semifinal defeat. In the tournament, he took seven wickets in four matches, underscoring his value to the team. Southee’s departure marks the end of an illustrious career, leaving a legacy of leadership and consistency.

New Faces in the squad: Fresh talent on the rise

While the exclusion of four established players marks a significant change, New Zealand’s squad for the 2025 Champions Trophy also includes some exciting new talent. Will O’Rourke, Ben Sears, and Nathan Smith are all set to make their ICC tournament debuts. These young pacers have impressed in domestic cricket and will?? add fresh energy to New Zealand’s bowling attack. Sears, in particular, is making a return to the fold after recovering from a knee injury. His resilience and potential have earned him a spot in the squad,?? and he is expected to bring a fresh dynamic to the team.

O’Rourke and Smith, both rising stars in New Zealand’s domestic scene, will strengthen the pace attack alongside established names. With the support of all-rounder Michael Bracewell, these new faces are set to play a pivotal role in New Zealand’s bid for success in the 2025 Champions Trophy.
