Today India faces Afghanistan in the Under 19 World Cup. The 5-time champion and invincible Indian team has its eyes on the final. At the same time, Afghanistan will try to make it to its first final.
Call: India will take the field today with an eye on the final in the Under-19 World Cup. In front is the Afghanistan team. The match will start at 1 pm Indian time in Harare. The five-time champion Indian team will aim to make it to the finals without losing a single match. At the same time, the Afghanistan team, which is dreaming of its first final, has lost only to Sri Lanka in the tournament. Opener Aaron George and spinner Mohammad Inan are Malayali players in the Indian team.
The batting line-up is strong with captain Ayush Matre, young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi, India’s only centurion in the tournament Vihaan Malhotra, wicketkeeper Abhigyan Kundu and Vedant Trivedi. But in the matches so far, the bowling of Ambareesh, Henil Patel, Kanishk Chauhan and Deepesh Devendran has kept India safe. The all-round performance of Ayush Matre and Vihaan Malhotra will also be beneficial for India.
If Vaibhav Suryavanshi returns to his true form then things will become easier for India. The Indian team, which fields a different playing eleven in every match, would not like to do any new experiments in the semi-finals. The performance of Faisal Shinosada, Mehboob Khan, Abdul Aziz, Nuristani Omarzai and Akhil Khan will be important for Afghanistan. India and Afghanistan will face each other for the 13th time in Under-19 cricket. Of these, 10 matches have been won by India and 2 by Afghanistan.
India: Aaron George, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Ayush Matre (captain), Vedant Trivedi, Vihaan Malhotra, Abhigyan Kundu (wicketkeeper), RS Ambareesh, Kanishk Chauhan, Khilan Patel, Deepesh Devendran, Henil Patel, Harvansh Pangalia, Mohammad Inan, Uddhav Mohan, Kishan Kumar Singh.
