The Shafali Verma-led India U-19 squad managed to do what their seniors could not do by clearing the final hurdle in a global event as they beat England by a comfortable 7-wicket margin in the end.

Earlier, Seamer Titas Sadhu and spinner Archana Devi along with the other Indian bowlers restricted the English side to a mere 68 by picking up wickets at regular intervals.
