Match 7: Nita Dalgaard’s 3-fer instrumental as Denmark seals a dominating win
Opening batter Anushka Gorad (20 off 43 balls) was the lone warrior with the bat for Norway after skipper Mirab Razwan won the toss and opted to bat first. The rest of the batters failed to reach double digits; as a result, they managed only 80/8 in their quota of 20 overs. The innings extras (21) were yet the highest run-scorer for them. Nita Dalgaard (4-0-14-3) and Divya Golechha (4-0-10-1) were the stand-out performers with the ball for Denmark. Sofie Ostergaard (4-0-20-1) also played her part.
Chasing a target of 81, Denmark’s top order – Tine Erichsen (26 off 35 balls), Anne Ostergaard (23* off 31 balls), and Line Leisner (17 off 19 balls) – made light work of the run chase, sealing the game with 7 wickets in hand and 31 balls to spare. Alina Aslam (2.5-0-12-1), Ramya Immadi (3-0-14-1), and Prachi Kumari (2-0-9-1) picked up a wicket each for Norway. Nita Dalgaard was awarded the Player of the Match for her impressive spell.
Match 8: Janet Ronalds’ all-round show gives Germany a thumping win
The German batters assessed the conditions early and capitalised later with classical stroke play and decent partnerships throughout the innings to post a massive 164/4 in 20 overs after skipper Asmita Kohli won the toss and opted to bat first. Opening batter Wilhelmina Hornero-Garcia (50* off 49 balls) stayed unbeaten on a well-crafted half-century. Janet Ronalds (45 off 49 balls), Nicole Kingsley (14* off 8 balls), and Shravya Kolcharam (15 off 7 balls) chipped in with crucial contributions. Extras (31) were again among the top scorers. Kanchan Rana (4-0-14-1), Zara Mohammad (4-0-30-1), and Malyun Yusuf (1-0-10-1) took wickets for Sweden.
Chasing 165, Sweden’s top order – Anya Vaidya (32 off 34 balls), Ekaterina Bogdanova (11 off 12 balls), and skipper Kanchan (10 off 16 balls) – showed promise. But a collapse saw them bundled out for 90 in 18.1 overs, losing their last 8 wickets for just 35 runs. Iris Edwards (4-0-19-3) and skipper Asmita Kohli (4-0-20-3) claimed three wickets each, while Janet Ronalds (4-0-17-2) and Ashwini Balaji (3.1-0-7-1) were also impressive. Ronalds was awarded the Player of the Match for her all-round show.
Match 9: Solid contributions from the top order, Malyun Yusuf and Zara Mohammad script an impressive comeback win
After losing opener Ekaterina Bogdanova for a golden duck on the first ball of the innings, Sweden’s top order led the fightback with substantial partnerships. They posted a challenging 161/5 in 20 overs on the back of Elsa Thelander (45 off 46 balls), Kanchan Rana (33 off 26 balls), Rashmi Somashekhar (23 off 31 balls), Anya Vaidya (10 off 9 balls), and Jayasooriya (10* off 12 balls). Extras (40) boosted the total. Rhea Khullar (3-0-20-1), Divija Unhale (4-0-28-1), and Praghati Bhandari (4-0-19-1) picked up a wicket each for Finland.
Chasing 162, Finland managed only 88/7 in 20 overs, falling 73 runs short. Skipper Traijila Mulepati (31 off 51 balls) was the lone warrior, with Malyun Hassan (11 off 35 balls) the only other batter in double digits. Malyun Yusuf (2-0-4-3), Anya Vaidya (3-0-8-1), Zara Mohammad (4-1-23-1), and Hareer Chamto (3-1-8-0) were impressive with the ball for Sweden.
Match 10: Rameesha Shahid’s all-round show gives Germany a dominant win
Contributions from Shravya Kolcharam (36 off 33 balls), Rameesha Shahid (36* off 28 balls), Verena Stolle (12 off 19 balls), and Wilhelmina Hornero-Garcia (13 off 11 balls) took Germany to 131/7 in 20 overs after skipper Asmita Kohli won the toss and opted to bat first.

Chasing 132, Denmark never got going and were bundled out for 67 in 18.1 overs, falling 64 runs short. Maria Karlsen (15* off 33 balls) was the only batter to reach double digits. Iris Edwards (4-1-10-3), Antonia Meyenborg (4-0-12-2), Rameesha Shahid (4-1-16-2), and skipper Asmita Kohli (3.1-0-10-2) were exceptional with the ball.
