...The Chase...

India Under-19 were relentless with the ball, never letting the pressure drop. R.S. Ambrish was the pick of the bowlers with a brilliant four-wicket haul, while the rest of the attack chipped in with a wicket each to keep things tight. The target is 136 for India Under-19. Should be an easy chase unless the Kiwis can pick a couple of wickets with the new ball, which could make this game interesting. Stay tuned for the run chase!

Jacob Cotter and Jaskaran Sandhu tried to rebuild with a gritty 37-run stand, but India struck just as they looked settled. Sandhu fell for 18 and Cotter followed shortly, leaving the score at 69/7. Thankfully for New Zealand, late cameos from Callum Samson and Selwin Sanjay helped drag the team to a final total of 135. Selwin Sanjay scored 28 whilst Callum Samson scored 37.

New Zealand Under-19 end with a low total of 135 inside 37 overs of play! It was a disjointed day with the wet outfield first cutting the game to 47 overs. New Zealand Under-19 had a nightmare start, losing quick wickets before rain halted play again at 17/3. When the match resumed as a 37-over contest, the batting collapse continued, leaving the Kiwis in deep trouble at a precarious 22/5.
