India won the inaugural Blind T20 Women's World Cup after defeating Nepal by seven wickets in the final at the P Sara Oval, in Colombo, on Sunday.
India restricted Nepal to 114/5 after opting to bowl before they coasted to 117/3 in just 12 overs to win the title.
Such was India's domination that Nepal managed just a single boundary in their 20
overs.
Phula Saren top-scored for India in the run chase with an unbeaten 44.
India had beaten Australia in the first semi-final, while Nepal outclassed Pakistan in the second semis on Saturday.
Co-hosts Sri Lanka could win only one game -- against the USA -- out of the five preliminary round games.
Pakistan's Mehreen Ali, a B3 or partially sighted player, was the star batter in the six-team tournament, scoring over 600 runs, including a 78-ball 230 against Sri Lanka. She also scored 133 against Australia.
