U19 women’s T20 World Cup: how to watch the final on UK TV? Potential finalists, date and time of grand finale

The first ever U19 women’s world cup has been getting underway in South Africa with history being made. South Africa’s Madison Landsman became the first ever women to get a hat-trick at the U19 women’s World Cup and this was soon followed up by Rwanda’s Henriette Ishimwe who took four wickets in as many balls in a remarkable day for the country’s cricket record.

16 countries have been involved in the tournament, split into four groups and the top three from each group progressing into the two super groups. England have won all six of their matches so far and Grace Scriven has been a shining star for the youngsters.

Scriven scored 93 off just 56 balls to help England to a 121 win over Ireland in their recent outing and the skipper also hit 45 and took four wickets in England’s win against Zimbabwe as her opponents were bowled out for just 23 after 12 overs.

New Zealand have also won all their super group matches with England only edging them to top spot in the group on net run rate. The two sides will battle it out for the top place later this week with India and Australia the other likely contenders for the semi-final places.

However one of the biggest surprises came when Rwanda pulled off the biggest upset in the tournament yet by defeating the West Indies by four wickets to knock them out the competition. Their incredible win came after they defeated Zimbabwe - another Full ICC Member nation - by 39 runs on Tuesday. Rwanda’s participation at the U19 World Cup marks the nation’s first appearance in a tournament of this stature.
