Skipper Mhatre failed but Kundu, Trivedi Shine as India U-19 Tounce Australia

Brisbane [Australia]September 21 (Ani): India U-19 led a seven-wicket victory over the U-19 in the first youth ODI, taking into account of Abhigyan Kundu, which led the charge with an unbeaten 87 in Brisbane on Sunday. After captain Ayush Mhatre and Vihaan Malhotra could not create the desired impact, Kundu sustained a centerpiece with struggling action. On the other hand, Vedant Trivedi played the second fidget with his composed 61* of 69 deliveries, while the duo led the tourists to a proper victory. While pursuing a target of 226 runs, India had a quick start with the top-order sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi that panged seven fours and a maximum maximum in the PowerPlay. Suryavanshi, a talent excavated over the past few years, continued with his high-risk and high-reward approach, which achieved the attack at every available event. He showed 38 of 22 deliveries on 172.72, before coming up against the final delivery of fifth place against Hayden Schiller. In the next ear, Charles Lachmund rejected Mhatre cheap at 6 (10) and returned to Sting India by claiming the wicket of Vihaan Malhotra (9 out of 10) about the penultimate delivery of the PowerPlay. With India reduced to 75/3 and early momentum slipping, Kundu and Trivedi lit the stadium by taking an unbeaten position of 152 runs. The combination of the left rights did wonders when Australian players scratched their heads as they tried to captivate a partnership delivery. Borders have been at a consistent pace, as Kundu and Trivedi have tormented the hosts. Trivedi raised his half -century by completing a single in the 24th. Kundu was more stylish with his approach and smoked the ball past the border rope for a six to celebrate his half century. Kundu pitched the ante and closed Schiller with four, six and four in the 29th and yielded the winning limit to save the competition with more than 117 deliveries. In the first innings, the coin spun in Australia’s favor and preferred the hosts to bat. Kishan Kumar drew the first blood by firing Alex Turner for a golden duck and sticking Simon Budge in front of the stumps for a four-ball duck in the opening. Steven Hogan tried to strive a return, but Captain Will Malajczuk (17 out of 22) and Yash Deshmukh (0 out of 4) couldn’t support him from the other side, leaving Australia -Treadable on 35/4 in 8.4 overs. Tom Hogan stabilized the ship with 40 out of 81, while John James produced fireworks with his unbeaten 77 (68) to drive Australia to 225/9. Henik Patel played with a three-wicket load, while Kishan Kumar and Kanishk Chouhan cut in with two each. (Ani)
