    The anthems are done - a proud moment for both sides I'm sure.

    England's openers Grave Scrivens and Liberty Heap have taken their guard.

    We're all set in the very first final of the ICC Women's Under-19 World Cup.

  4. Who should I watch out for?published at 11:40 Greenwich Mean Time 29 January 2023

    Well the obvious answer is England's captain Grace Scrivens.

    She bats, bowls and leads the side.

    Scrivens scored 93 from 56 balls against Ireland earlier in the tournament and took the crucial final wicket against Australia in the semi-final.

    You may also remember left-arm spinner Sophia Smale. She was one of the breakout stars of the Hundred last year.

    Verma steals the headlines for India but it is her opening partner Shweta Sehrawat who is the tournament's leading scorer.

    England progressed through the first two stages relatively comfortably.

    Their semi-final was anything but.

    Against Australia, the oldest rivals of all, England were bowled out for 99 but dramatically dismissed their opponents for 96 in a thrilling finale.

    India have only lost once. That was against Australia - a game they were bowled out for 87.

    India's captain is Shafali Verma, the superstar opener who has played in a World Cup final for the senior side.
