ICC Under-19 World Cup 2018 IND vs PNG, latest updates: 11 from this Tau over means India have eased to a clinical ten-wicket win. They also top the group.

Preview: India and Papua New Guinea (PNG) could barely have had more contrasting starts to the tournament. While India’s opening game was an almost-complete performance over much-fancied Australia, Papua New Guinea were thrashed by Zimbabwe in a rain-shortened clash, which means they must win to keep their quarter-final hopes alive. India meanwhile will want not just to win, but to lay down a marker to make sure all the other teams know to be afraid of them. Their one worry will be the fitness of fast bowler Ishan Porel, who hurt his ankle after slipping in his delivery stride against Australia. He will be sent for a scan, but India may well look to rest and rotate regardless of the results.

Image courtesy: ICC[/caption] Players to watch Kamlesh Nagarkoti (Ind) Most of the pre-match hype was around Prithvi ‘the new Sachin’ Shaw and his band of batsmen. But while they didn’t disappoint, perhaps most eye-catching was the pace at which India’s quicks bowled, with Australia largely unable to cope. Skidding the ball on from a low height, with a smooth action and braced front leg, Kamlesh Nagarkoti was the pick and quickest of the bowlers. With Ishan Porel an injury doubt, Nagarkoti may take the new ball, and since PNG will never have faced a bowler nearly as quick as him, he could cause havoc. Ovia Sam (PNG) All PNG’s batsmen struggled against Zimbabwe, but Ovia Sam looked the most assured, and also the most likely to succeed in a full-length innings, relying on risk-free singles and doubles - his 24 came at better than a run a ball despite containing no boundaries. With India unlikely to offer many loose deliveries, the ability to rotate the strike will be crucial. Head to head India and PNG have faced off three times in the ICC Under 19 Cricket World Cup, India winning by over 100 runs each time, PNG dismissed for less than 100 every time.

So India complete a clinical ten-wicket win over Papua New Guinea. No surprises there, but the ruthlessness of Indians stood out. There was no dip in intensity from the pacers,and Anukul Roy, the left-arm spinner, walked away with a five-for on a pitch made to assist the fast men.He bowled with lot of guile, and had the opposition in knots. Mavi and Nagarkoti were sharp, but they would do well to get their lengths right. India also were a bit below par in fielding, and coach Rahul Dravid would have surely taken note. India’s reply was swift and serene, with skipper Prithvi Shaw’s fifty leading the charge. He is the one to watch out for, and hopefully we will here more of him in coming years. For the record, the entire match lasted just 29.5 overs!
Table-toppers India will next play Zimbabwe on Friday, which means another early start for us here! Do join us with our coverage. Untill then, it’s goodbye from all of us.
Meanwhile, it promises to be a cracker in Centurion today. If you are looking for more cricketing action before Virat Kohli’s men take field, follow the fourth ODI between New Zealand and Pakistan here .
Roy was spectacular with his spin. Recieving the award from Jeff Crowe would have made the youngester happy.

India win by 10 wickets!
11 from this Tau over means India have eased to a clinical ten-wicket win. They also top the group. Anukul Roy starred with a five-wicket haul and it was all Shaw show thereafter.He hit two fours this over, the last of which – a slap over covers – brought up India’s win.
After 7 overs, IND 56/0 (Prithvi Shaw 48, Manjot Kalra 7)
Morea into the attack, and he is taken for 11 runs, including a brace of fours from Shaw.
After 6 overs, IND 45/0 (Prithvi Shaw 38, Manjot Kalra 6)
Tau continues. Pitches first two full on middle and leg. Shaw flicks for no result. He does better on the third and punishes the full ball for four. He is dropped the next ball and takes advantage on the last ball with another four. 10 from the over.
After 5 overs, IND 35/0 (Prithvi Shaw 29, Manjot Kalra 5)
Well, the over started with a bouncer and a stare from Kamea, but all he has to show for are 9 runs from the over, including two lovely hits to the fence. Brilliant start from India.
After 4 overs, IND 26/0 (Prithvi Shaw 20, Manjot Kalra 5)
Tau continues. Dot on the first ball to Kalra is followed by a single. Shaw plays out two more dots and collects a single on the fifth. Kalra defends the last ball. Good over.
After 3 overs, IND 24/0 (Prithvi Shaw 19, Manjot Kalra 4)
Tweleve from that over with three lovely fours from Shaw. India look in hurry.
After 2 overs, IND 12/0 (Prithvi Shaw 7, Manjot Kalra 4)
James Tau from the other end. He bowls left-arm medium fast. Good lengths to start. He is bowling full, which is what you need on this pitch. Shaw finding it difficult to time the ball, could be due to the lack of pace. Couple of inside edges on attempted cover drives. He jams his bat down on the fifth ball, which is again full. Kalra opens his account with a beautiful cover drive for four on the last ball.
After 1 over, IND 7/0 (Prithvi Shaw 6, Manjot Kalra 0)
Shaw takes first strike. Semo Kamea to start the proceedings. Shaw opens India’s account with a couple on the second ball, and crunches the fourth for a boundary. Plays out the next and collects a bye on the last ball. Seven from the over.
PNG are bowled out for a paltry 64. 21 runs less than their score in the previous match. Indian bowlers ran all over the helpless PNG batsmen. Failed to last even half the innings being bowled out in the 22nd over.
India need 65 to register their second win. It won’t be a long break as Prithvi Shaw and Manjot Kalra will walk out soon and probably get to their target sooner.
OUT! Kevau is drawn into the drive as he checks his shot with the ball coming on slower than expected. Simple catch for Gill in the covers.
Kevau Tau c Shubman Gill b Anukul Roy 2(21)
After 21 overs, PNG 64/8 (Kevau Tau 2, Boge Arua 0)
Shiva Singh being introduced. He finds his length straightaway. Bowls loopy, full-length delveries to Tau who resists for four balls. Good bounce on the fifth ball, but a single nevertheless. Arua plays out the last ball. Good, neat start this.
After 20 overs, PNG 63/8 (Kevau Tau 1, Boge Arua 0)
Maiden wicket for Anukul Roy who has picked his third wicket. Two wickets remaining for PNG.
OUT! That’s gone through the gate! James Tau played for the spin while the ball sneaked through the gap between bat and pad. Falling apart here.
James Tau b Anukul Roy 0(6)
After 19 overs, PNG 63/7 (Kevau Tau 1, James Tau 0)
Only a single leg-bye in the over with a wicket for Nagarkoti. This is heading towards an early finish. Can they go past their previous score of 95?
After 18 overs, PNG 62/6 (Kevau Tau 1, Leke Morea 0)
Looking extremely grim for PNG. Not that there were expectations of scoring at a quick rate or coming on top of this Indian bowling attack, but what they can do is curb unnecessary shots and simply throw their wickets away.
OUT! Easy-peasy. Sam seemed to be giving some catching practice. Finds Mavi who is positioned at mid on, slightly deep mid on. Gifted his wicket away in a temptation to loft the ball in the air.
Ovia Sam c Shivam Mavi b Anukul Roy 15(25)
