While India's national team is acquiring New Zealand in the first Test in Hyderabad, U19 Colts are making news in the Down Under Cup ICC U-19 World. Beating New Zealand Under 19 by 9 runs in the semi-final, India have moved to the end of ICC event, which will take on Australia on August 26.
This is the fourth participation of India in the final of the ICC Under-19 World Cup (2000, 2006, 2008, 2012).
Defending a modest total of 209, the Indian players maintained their consistency over longer restricting New Zealand to 200 for nine in their 50 overs to set up a title clash against Australia on Sunday.
Need to last more than 18, medium pacer Sandeep Sharma kept his cool as he gave away just nine runs as India reached the summit clash in the final comfortably at Tony Ireland Stadium.
Tamil Nadu Baba Aparajith young boy got his second successive man-of-the-match award for his complete program as he scored 44 before taking the important wicket of Robert O'Donnell.
A target of 210 was never a big man, so that the Black Caps foals but Aparajith road (1/29) and Harmeet Mumbai young sardar (2/30) drowned New Zealand play couple Cam Fletcher (53) and O'Donnell (29) in the middle to set acquisitions for Indians.
The duo gave away only 59 runs in 20 overs between them and also shared three wickets. Highlights were definitely leftovers Batting Powerplay where two of them gave only 14 runs in five overs.
While New Zealand lost the first four wickets for 63 runs, Carter-O'Donell duo put on 56 runs for the fifth wicket without much fuss. New Zealand seemed to be cruising along to victory before Harmeet-Aparajith brakes applied in scoring. Back to back maidens in the 34 and 35 overs suddenly increased pressure on the Kiwis.
As the pressure mounted, O'Donnell closed the face of his bat for an off-break Aparajith to provide simple return catch as India achieved breakthroughs.
Earlier, India's middle order squandered the good start provided by the top half when the team posted a disappointing 209 for nine after being put into bat.
Opener Prashant Chopra was the top scorer for the Indians with a patient 104-ball 52l. Skipper Unmukt Chand also did his part with 31 runs 44 deliveries, but the rest of the lineup that the team fell against disciplined bowling effort by the New Zealand team.
For the Kiwis, the left arm spinner Ben Horne was the top wicket-taker, collecting three of 23 in six credits, while medium pacer Matthew Quinn got a couple of scalps.
It was a good start to the process to the Indians as Prashant Unmukt and put on 51 runs for the first wicket before first made his way back after becoming a victim only half pacer Connor Neynens' party.
Hit Unmukt included five hits to the fence. Next Man, Aparajith had barely time to settle the strike and turn easily.
Prashant Aparajith and combined for 81 runs before the latter departed, caught with one hand by the Kiwi skipper Will Young in the middle of the bowling of Ed Nuttall.
Prashant beaten five boundaries and a six in his innings. Aparajith out a couple of acquisitions later his 61-ball innings, finished spinner Ish Sodhi Indian origin.
The rest of the Indian line-up and made no significant contribution to the team is limited to a total disappointment.
