Under-19 World Cup: India outclass Australia by 96 runs in semis to set up date with England in the final
AS IT HAPPENEDDishing out a clinical, all-round show, a relentless India scored a comprehensive 96-run win over Australia in the semis to storm into the final of the Under-19 World Cup — for the fourth consecutive time — on Wednesday at Coolidge in Antigua. They will now take on England, who beat Afghanistan by 15 runs in the first semifinal, in the summit clash of the tournament in West Indies at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium on Saturday. Rising to the occasion when it mattered the most, captain Yash Dhull (110, 110b, 10x4, 1x6) slammed a brilliant century, while his deputy Shaik Rasheed stroked 94 (107b, 8x4, 1x6) as the duo added 204 off 204 balls for the third wicket in their mammoth partnership to take India to an imposing 290 for five in 50 overs.
