IND U19 won by 233 runs
7:52 PM IST, 4:22 PM Local Time: India U19 have registered a massive win over South Africa U19 by 233 runs. They defeat them in the final game of the series and with this, they have whitewashed the Proteas by winning it 3-0.
After being asked to bat, India U19 produced a batting exhibition to post a mammoth total of 393 for 7 in their allotted 50 overs.
Skipper Vaibhav Suryavanshi led from the front with a breathtaking century, smashing 127 off just 74 balls, laced with a flurry of boundaries and towering sixes. His aggressive approach set the tone early and kept the South African bowlers on the defensive throughout the innings.
Suryavanshi was well supported by opener Aaron George, who played a crucial hand at the top of the order and went on to also score a ton, ensuring India capitalised on a solid start. The duo added 227 runs for the first wicket and registered the biggest partnership of the series.
The Indian middle order maintained the momentum, allowing the visitors to finish with the highest total of the series.
In reply, Proteas never had their innings on track. They lost their first four wickets inside the initial five overs. All first four batters, including skipper Muhammed Bulbulia, got dismissed for single-digit scores as the Indian pacers wreaked havoc with the new ball.
The highest partnership of their innings was of 49 runs between Paul James (41) and Daniel Bosman (40) for the sixth wicket.
Later, Corne Botha (36) played some shots and stayed there till the end but he ran out of partners and eventually South Africa U19 got bundled out for 160 in 35 overs.
Seven Proteas batters were dismissed for a single-digit score.
Left-arm seamer Kishan Kumar Singh picked up three wickets while leggie Mohammed Enaan took two scalps. The remaining five bowlers took a wicket each.
