Despite scoring a respectable 172/5 after batting first, the Harmanpreet Kaur-led team lost against Australia by nine wickets. Shafali Verma, the team’s captain for the U19 T20 World Cup the following year, led the way with a 10-ball 21 while opening partner Smriti Mandhana also contributed with 28 runs. India finished on a strong note because to late cameos from Deepti Sharma (36* off 15 balls) and wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh (36 off 20 deliveries).
