India Under-19 had set the tone early on! India U19 have wrapped up a flawless day at the office, storming to the top of the points table with a massive 204-run victory.

India U19 vs Zimbabwe U19 LIVE Score: India strengthened their pace department by bringing left-arm quick Udhav Mohan in place of leg-spinner Mohaamd Enaan in the only change that they made for their first Super Six clash of the ICC U-19 World Cup, against hosts Zimbabwe in Bulawayo on Tuesday. The Ayush Mhatre-led ‘Boys in Blue’ are aiming to extend their winning run in the ongoing tournament, having completed a hat-trick of victories in the group stage and finished with a Net Run Rate of +2.976.

‘Boys in Blue’ eye fourth win in as many outings

They had begun their campaign with a six-wicket victory over USA after bowling them out for just 107, and made a fantastic recovery against Bangladesh to emerge triumphant by 18 runs. And in their final Group B fixture, the five-time U-19 world champions thrashed New Zealand by 7 wickets after bundling them out for 135. Thanks to their dominant run in the group stage, India enter the Super Sixes with two wins and an NRR of +2.751.

Zimbabwe, on the other hand, had finished third in Group C, behind England and Pakistan who finished with six and four points respectively. They had finished with a solitary point after suffering an eight-wicket thrashing at the hands of Pakistan, but advanced due to a slightly better NRR than Scotland.

They had suffered an eight-wicket thrashing against former champions Pakistan in their final group game. Farhan Yousaf’s side, however, took their sweet time during their chase of a modest 129-run target , allowing the Chevrons to finish marginally ahead in terms of NRR.
