Nepal beat Malaysia in a one-sided match to clinch the ACC women's Under-19 trophy at the Prem Oval. After the senior side won the inaugural ACC trophy last year, Nepal's youngsters put in an impressive performance in Thailand, not dropping a single game on their march to the title.

Malaysia, who had earlier made the highest total of the tournament and beaten favourites Hong Kong to qualify for the final, were bowled out for 45, in a score that included 30 extras. No batsman scored more than 3. Sonu Khakda picked up 3 for 9 while Rekha Rawal, Nepal's highest wicket-taker in the tournament, took 2 for 11 to take her tally to 12. Nepal wrapped up the chase in 11.5 overs with opener Maya Rawat scoring 15 off 18 balls.

Nary Thapa, the Nepal captain who also led the senior side to victory last year, said Nepal had a winning combination of players. "We've been playing a long time and have enough confidence in matches," Thapa was quoted as saying on the ACC website.

Malaysia's coach V Kalidas was pleased with his team's performance as well. "Nepal played well, no doubt about it but I am proud of the way my girls tried with the ball," Kalidas said. "These girls are young enough to keep getting better in future tournaments."
