Women's Under 19 T20 World Cup
Group 2: Ireland lost to South Africa by 7 wickets
Sarawak, 25 January.
Ireland 35 (9.4 overs: M Lagodi 4-4, K Reyneke 3-2)
South Africa 36/3 (6.1 overs: J Jackson 2-6) (Delayed start - Match reduced to 10 overs)
Monalisa Legodi celebrates her amazing figures (ICC)
Consecutive boundaries form Freya Sargent but lbw next ball in the second over. Rebecca Lowe and Annabel Squires both caught sweeping in Reyneke's first - Abbi Harrison nearly a third in the over, missing, you guessed it a SWEEP! Harrison in two minds bowled in the next by Legodi who claims McNally, McNulty, and McBride in her next - 3 Big Macs for Monalisa. Lots of 'getting out' shots being played. Nthabiseng Nini back and bowls Lucy Neely first up. McCartney run out in the final over and McGee caught next ball to give Reyneke her third wicket. Jenny Jackson left-arm inswing traps Jemma Botha lbw in the first over, she's unlucky not to be given a second, but Ramlaken then chops on, two in the over. With Simone Lourens and Kayla Reyneke adding 28 for the third wicket South Africa's win was inevitable ensuring their pace in the semi-finals.
Women's Under 19 T20 World Cup
Group 1: Australia beat West Indies by 6 wickets
Bangi, 25 January.
West Indies 53 (16.3 overs: B Harricharan 17, S Ramnath 14, E Larosa 2-6, C Bray 2-9)
Australia 57/4 (10.5 overs: L Hamilton 28)
Tegan Williamson celebrates her wicket (ICC)
Only two Windies batters, Brianna Harricharan and Samara managed to reach double figures, hustled out in 16 overs, two wickets each for Eleanor Larosa and Caoimhe Bray. Lucy Hamilton with a run a ball 28 sets Australia on their way to the win.
Women's Under 19 T20 World Cup
Group 2: England v Nigeria - No result
Sarawak, 25 January.
England 
Nigeria
Covers doing their job! (ICC)
Match abandoned without a Toss. Overnight rain and persistant drizzle meant that there was no possibility of the first game of the day in Sarawak getting under way. The prospects for later in the day aren't much better if the forecast is to believed.
Women's Under 19 T20 World Cup
Group 2: New Zealand beat USA by 18 runs
Bangi, 25 January.
New Zealand 97 (19.5 overs: H Francis 25; R Singh 5-15)
USA 79 (17.1 0vers: D Dhingra 30; R Jaswal 2-14, K Irwin 2-15)
Darcy Prasad claims the catch to seal the win (ICC)
USA's Ritu Singh the POTM for her 5-15 but little consolation as New Zealand claimed the points. Hannah Francis their top-scorer while in the reply Disha Dhingra provided their only real opposition. A real thriller though as the Windies had reached 73/5 in the fourteenth over before a meltdown saw them lose their last five wickets for just 6 runs!
Women's Under 19 T20 World Cup
13th-16th: Malaysia lost to Nepal by 7 wickets
Johor, 24 January.
Malaysia 45 (16.4 overs: N Hidayah 15; P Mahato 4-9, R Chaudhary 3-5)
Nepal 47/3 (11 overs: P Mahato 23*; M Qistina 3-18)
Runs and wickets for Nepalese captain Puja Mahato, her POTM performance seeing off the hosts in double quick time. Four wickets for her, and three for Rachana Chaudhary while Nuriman Hidayah topped the scoring for Malaysia with 15. Mahato finished unbeaten for Nepal but a fine consolation performance from Marsya Qistina who claimed all three Nepal wickets to fall.
Women's Under 19 T20 World Cup
13th-16th: Pakistan beat Samoa by 52 runs
Johor, 24 January.
Pakistan 136/8 (20 overs: M Anees 28, F Khan 25; N Salima 3-20) Samoa 84 (18.4 overs: V Farane 19, S Sagalala 15; H Ahmer 4-17, M Quratulain 2-13, F Khan 2-19)
Pakistan relieved to register their first win in the tournament albeit in the wooden spoon fixtures between the bottom teams in each group. Their 136 was more than enough with runs from Maham Asees and Fatima Khan, Nora-Jade Salima the only Samoan bowler to collect more than a single wicket. In the Samoan reply Haniah Ameer's 4-17 snuffed out any hopes Samoa may have had of a win while Miahil Quratulain and Fatima Khan each picked up two wickets.
Women's Under 19 T20 World Cup
Group A: India beat Sri Lanka by 60 runs
Bayeumas Oval, Kuala Lumpur, 23 January.
India 118/9 (20 overs: T Gongadi 49; P Methsara 2-10, L Thilakaratne 2-14, Asani Thalagune 2-24)
Sri Lanka 58/9 (20 overs: R Sewwandi 15; P Sisodia 2-7, MD Shabnam 2-9, Joshitha VJ 2-17)
Trisha Gongadi top scored for India with 49 (ICC)
Holders India had Trisha Gongadi to thank for her standout 49 (44 balls, 5x4, 1x6) as they struggled against the spin heavy Sri Lankans on a turning pitch. This match was touted as a clash of India's bowling versus Sri Lanka's batting - if so, there's a winner already with Sri Lankan slumping to 12/5! There was no way back from that and only Rashmilka Sewwandi managed to reach double figures. Probably just a total coincidence, but no one surprised I imagine, to see India's Group games are at the Bayeumas Oval which is the venue for both semi-finals and the Final.
Women's Under 19 T20 World Cup
Group A: Malaysia lost to West Indies by 53 runs
Bayeumas Oval, Kuala Lumpur, 23 January.
West Indies 112/7 (20 overs: A Callender 30, J Claxton 19; I Syafiqa 2-26, Nazwah 2-28) Malaysia 59 (18.0 overs: Dania Syuhada 12; S Ramnath 4-6, E Deane 2-7, N Cumberbatch 2-14)
Jazara Claxton batting for the West Indies (ICC)
A routine win securing their Super Sixes place for the Windies who had been asked to bat by the hosts. Asabi Callender's top score of 30 just pipping the Extras total of 27 while Izzatul Syafiqa and legspinner Nazwah picked up two wickets each. In Malaysia's reply Samara Ramnath's off spin accounted for 4 batters conceding a miserly 6 runs in her four over spell. The only Malaysian batter to reach double figiures was Dania Syuhada with 12, while Extras added 21 to carry them past their previous match totals 23 and 31.
