Women’s U15 One Day Trophy

Past Women’s U15 One Day Trophy Editions

• 2025-2026 Season

  The 2025-2026 edition of the Women’s U15 One Day Trophy ran from 2 January 2026 to 21 January 2026, featuring the familiar Elite and Plate structure that continues to shape early-age women’s cricket in India. The Elite competition concluded in Puducherry, where Mumbai claimed the title after edging out Maharashtra in a tight final, successfully chasing 176 with one over to spare. The Plate division unfolded in Guwahati, and Tripura dominated the field, sealing the championship with a 9-wicket win over Mizoram after restricting them to 59 at the ACA Cricket Academy Ground in North Guwahati. The season followed a straightforward league-to-knockout format, with the different stages giving young players valuable experience of structured 50-over competition.

  Across both divisions, the tournament highlighted the growing depth of India’s youth system, with Mumbai’s composed Elite campaign and Tripura’s commanding Plate run standing out as the defining narratives. The mix of competitive balance in the Elite League and higher volatility in the Plate bracket once again produced contrasting challenges for teams across the two divisions. With strong performances, varied conditions across venues, and decisive finals in both tiers, the 2025-2026 edition reinforced the tournament’s role as a key benchmark for evaluating emerging talent and season-to-season form trends in the Women’s U15 One Day Trophy.

• 2024-2025 Season

  Looking back at the Women's U15 One Day Trophy from previous years is a good way to see how the event has changed over time and to understand the development of young women's cricket in India. The season of 2024-2025 was very exciting, with many close games and outstanding individual efforts. The event was over when Bengal won the prize by beating Punjab in a very close final. The fact that both teams fought hard until the very end of the game showed how tough the event was. An exact score is not the most important thing to remember, but Bengal's strong run in the knockout stage was. Their success depended on how well they bowled and how consistently they hit the ball.

  The previous season was set up with a standard group stage and then a knockout process. Teams were put into different groups, and the best teams made it to the pre-quarterfinals, quarterfinals, and so on. This system worked, but in the beginning, it sometimes led to games that weren't a good fit. When the stakes were high in the knockout rounds, where one great performance could change the whole match, those were the times that people would remember. For example, the quarterfinal match between Bengal and Andhra was very close and came down to the wire. This showed how tough the tournament's best teams were. The weather also had an effect. Since many of the games were played in the winter, rain and playing conditions could influence how matches unfolded and how teams approached their games.

  The previous edition had a big effect on a lot of people. Even though the media coverage is still growing, there was more attention, and there were more in-depth reports and online pieces. The rising media presence helped the team get more fans and more attention for the young players. This gave them a taste of the spotlight and pushed them to do their best. The changes we see now were directly caused by how well the 2024-2025 season went. The BCCI realized that cricket needed a more organized and competitive format to improve the game even more and give the next generation of women players a better way to learn and grow. No longer just a competition, the event is an important part of the cricketing environment. It affects everything from finding new players to getting fans involved and giving young cricketers a stronger platform to develop their skills.
