India has made it to the finals of the inaugural edition of the Women Under-19 World Cup. They will be facing England in the summit clash and the two teams will be looking to lay their hands on the trophy. The match will be taking place at Senwes Park in Potchefstroom on Sunday 29th January at 5:15 PM IST.

Speaking of the journey of the two teams to the final, India have won five of their six matches. In the semi-final, they faced off against their nemesis, New Zealand. But in this case, the contest turned out to be a one-sided affair in favour of India. The 'Girls in Blue' were chasing 108 runs in the match while batting second. They did it quite easily with eight wickets in hand and about 34 balls to spare. Meanwhile, England's performance has been spotless in the tournament. They have made it o the finals without losing a single match. In the semi-final, England faced off against their arch-rivals, Australia. In a low-scoring affair, England managed to hold their nerves and win the match by three runs. They will look to capitalize on their good form and win this match, booking a berth in the final of the inaugural edition of the Women's U-19 T20 World Cup.

Before the exciting contest kickstarts, let us take a look at the important stats, the prime player picks and the best-predicted XIs for the fantasy contests of the match.

IN-WU19 vs EN-WU19, Final: Top Five Picks

  1. Grace Scrivens (EN-WU19): The English all-rounder has been the biggest asset of the team in the tournament. She has been doing it all with both the bat and the ball for her team. Scrivens has scored 289 runs and picked up 8 wickets in six matches in this tournament. She is the safest pick for the match. 
  2. Shweta Sehrawat (IN-WU19): The Indian opener has been performing a grade above all her colleagues. With 292 runs in six matches, she is not only India's but also the highest run scorer of the tournament. There is no way one can miss out on Shweta Sehrawat. 
  3. Hannah Baker (EN-WU19): The English leg-break bowler has been very effective in this tournament. She has been the trump card for her team in the middle-overs. With the venue favouring spinners, Hannah Baker can be a great pick for the match.
  4. Parshavi Chopra (IN-WU19): The Indian spinner has been a very lethal weapon for Shafali Verma in the middle overs. Parshavi has not only been economical but also has picked up wickets. She is a must-pick for the match. 
  5. Shafali Verma (IN-WU19): The Indian skipper has not been at her best with the bat in the tournament. But she has stepped for the team's cause with the ball in hand and have tried to give some decent starts while opening the innings. With all the international experience behind her Shafali is going to be a very important pick for the match.
