India U19 vs Pakistan U19 Highlights: IND put out clinical performance to win by 90 runs

India get the victory! The margin too is of 90 runs. So a big victory for the Boys in Blue. Kishan Kumar Singh takes the final wicket to wrap up the game.

PAK 150 all out in 41.2 overs

Huzaifa Ahsan’s innings comes to an end. He was under a lot of pressure as the required run rate was consistently moving towards 10 and now he perishes. A brilliant catch from Vaibhav Suryavanshi in the deep. The game is now as good as over.

PAK 140-8(39)

Abdul Subhan aims for a six but gives his wicket away. Kanishk Chouhan gets his second wicket and Pakistan just keep losing their wickets. Poor batting from Subhan who is making it hard for Huzaifa Ahsan who is waging a lone battle.

PAK 129-7(37)

India are in a comfortable position but they would not want to take this game lightly at all. Huzaifa Ahsan is in the middle for Pakistan playing at 62 from 73 balls. If he can keep going, he can put India under pressure.

PAK 126-6 need 115 runs in 84 balls

Pakistan just cannot stitch partnerships. Khilan Patel now has a wicket. An ugly hoick from Hamza Zahoor and he has been caught on the boundary for only 4 runs.

Meanwhile, Huzaifa Ahsan has completed his half-century. He has been the only shining light in an otherwise poor display from Pakistani batters.

PAK 112-6(33) need 129 runs in 96 balls

The required run rate is now over 7 and rising. Indian fielders are consistently doing well so are the bowlers. Meanwhile, 100 is up for Pakistan but they have taken a lot of time to reach here.

PAK 101-5(30)

It is a horrible start if you look at it from the point of view of Pakistan. Ashan and Yousaf now in the middle as Indian bowlers continue to be right on the money. A big partnership needed for Pakistan.

PAK 38-4(16)

Pakistan are in deep, deep trouble. Off-spinner Kanishk Chouhan comes to bowl and he strikes with his very first ball. Beautiful ball. The set batter Usman Khan lunges forward to defend but gets an outside edge to the slip where captain Aayush Mhatre took a sharp catch.

PAK 36-4(14)

Deepesh Devendran is running through the Pakistan top order. Ahmed Hussain has no idea what this short ball will do. He is in no position to defend this ball rushing towards his helmet. The ball touches his glove and lands in wicket-keeper’s gloves. Devendran strikes again. Hussain out for only four.

PAK 30/3(12.5)

India get another wicket and yet again it is Deepesh Devendran. A length ball moving away, and Ali Baloch wants to push at it. All Baloch gets is an outside edge and he is out for a Duck.

PAK 24-2(10.3)

The first powerplay is done and India would be the happier of the two sides at this stage. They kept up the pressure with good bowling, and then Sameer Minhas lost his wicket as well. So Pakistan have neither scored much nor kept all their wickets intact.

PAK 23-1(10)

There comes the mistake and India have a wicket. D Devendran comes into the attack as first change for India and he strikes with his very first ball. Short, sharp bouncer and Sameer Minhas perishes through a mistimes pull. He is gone for 9.

PAK 21-1(8.1)

Six dot balls in this over and Henil Patel gets a maiden to his name. A good start from the Indian pacers. They have been accurate but Pakistan openers have not even tried to take much of a risk so far. Slow start from Pakistan but very solid.

PAK 17-0(6)

The first ball of the over seemed like a catch was taken at point but the umpires called it bump ball. Apart from that just two runs in the over and it is a slow but safe start for Pakistan.

PAK 12-0(4)

First six of the day for Pakistan. It is a short ball from Kishan Kumar Singh and a sharp one at that. Usman Khan aims to nail his pull shot but instead gets a top edge and the ball flies over the wicket-keeper for a maximum.

PAK 10-0(2.1)

Aaron George was India’s top scorer today. 85 for George in 88 balls but he did not find much support. Kanishk Chouhan was the next highest scorer with 46 off 46 balls.

Pakistan need 241 to win

Deepesh Devendran is the last Indian batter to fall, getting caught by Sameer Minhas near long on while attempting to smash the ball out of the park, as Abdul Subhan finishes the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3/42.

Can Ayush Mhatre’s side defend this total and collect a second consecutive victory? Stay tuned to find out…
