Trisha Gongadi becomes first centurion in U-19 Women’s World Cup, gets there in 53 balls

Trisha Gongadi etched her name in history as the first centurion of the ICC Women’s Under-19 T20 World Cup 2025, smashing a brilliant century off just 53 balls in a Super Six clash against Scotland on Tuesday. This knock also marked the first-ever hundred in the history of the Women’s U-19 World Cup.

Gongadi, alongside Sanika Chalke, powered India to a commanding total of 208-1.

After Scotland won the toss and opted to field, openers Kamalini G and Trisha Gongadi launched an onslaught of boundaries, propelling India to a strong 67-0 by the end of the PowerPlay.

At the halfway mark, India was cruising at 104 without loss. Shortly after, the Indian openers set a new record for the highest partnership in this World Cup, putting together a remarkable 147 runs.
