India U19 vs South Africa U19 Highlights, 2nd Youth ODI: Vaibhav Sooryavanshi’s quickfire fifty powers India U19 to 8-wicket victory
India U19 vs South Africa U19 Highlights, 2nd Youth ODI: India U19 showcased explosive intent and clinical execution in their chase against South Africa U19, with young sensation Vaibhav Sooryavanshi turning the game in India’s favour. Chasing a target of 246, India’s innings quickly became dominated by the 14-year-old opener, who walked to the crease with confidence and immediately attacked the bowling. Vaibhav smashed 68 runs off just 24 balls, including ten sixes and a four, reaching his fifty in an astonishing 19 deliveries. His aggressive approach gave India the momentum they needed at the top of the order, while his opening partner Aaron George scored 20 before being dismissed.
South Africa had batted first in their full 50-over innings, but early wickets tumbled as Jorich van Schalkwyk and Adnaan Lagadien managed only 10 and 25 respectively. Skipper Muhammed Bulbulia fell for 14, leaving the team under pressure. Jason Rowles anchored the innings with a composed 114 from 113 balls, supported by Daniel Bosman’s 31, but South Africa struggled to build partnerships and were eventually bowled out for 245. India’s bowlers were effective in containing the opposition, with Kishan Singh claiming four wickets, RS Ambrish taking two, and Deepesh Devendran, Kanishk Chouhan, and Khilan Patel chipping in with one each.
The match faced multiple interruptions due to bad lightning, and India’s innings was reduced to 27 overs under the DLS method. India completed the chase in 23.2 overs, finishing 176 for 2 and securing an eight-wicket victory. Vedant Trivedi contributed an unbeaten 31 off 57 balls, while Abhigyan Kundu remained not out on 48 from 42 deliveries, ensuring a comfortable finish. Sooryavanshi’s quickfire fifty reaffirmed his status as one of the most exciting young talents in cricket. The series provides crucial preparation for India’s Under-19 World Cup campaign, scheduled to begin on January 15 in Zimbabwe and Namibia.
