India U19 win: Team India has started with a win in the Under 19 World Cup. In the first match, Team India defeated America by 6 wickets. Batting first, the American batting proved to be a complete failure. America scored only 107 runs in 35.2 overs. In reply, Team India lost 4 wickets but did not face much problem in achieving victory. After the interference of rain, the Indian team got the target of 96 runs, which it easily achieved on the basis of the excellent batting of Abhigyan Kundu.
Excellent batting of Abhinav Kundu
When Abhigyan Kundu came to the crease, Team India had lost 3 wickets for 25 runs. Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Vedant Trivedi and Ayush Mhatre had returned to the pavilion. After this, Kundu made important partnerships with Vihaan Malhotra and Kanishk Chauhan and helped Team India win in 17.2 overs. Let us tell you that Abhigyan Kundu scored the highest unbeaten 42 runs. He led Team India to victory by hitting a six. This left handed batsman is considered very talented. This player has so far scored 125 centuries in junior cricket.
Henil Patel wrote the winning script
Before Abhigyan Kundu, fast bowler Henil Patel wrote the script of victory. This right-arm fast bowler devastated the American batting. This player took 5 wickets giving just 16 runs in 7 overs. Henil Patel’s five-wicket haul in the Under-19 World Cup is special because an Indian bowler has done this feat in this tournament after 8 years.
india vs bangladesh
Team India won this match but the way Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Ayush Mhatre lost their wickets was very disappointing. Both these players looked troubled in the difficult conditions of Zimbabwe. Vedant Trivedi scoring only 2 runs in 10 balls is also a matter of concern. It is expected that the top order of Team India will work in the next match. The next match will be played against Bangladesh on 17 January in Bulawayo.
