Nivethan Radhakrishnan fired Australia to third place in the ICC Under 19 Men's Cricket World Cup with a two-wicket win over Afghanistan. The ambidextrous all-rounder took three for 31 to limit Afghanistan to 201 all out batting first, before notching a half-century in the chase. Australia were made to sweat but eventually snuck home with five balls to spare.
A fine all-round performance from Nivethan Radhakrishnan fired Australia to third place in the ICC Under 19 Men's Cricket World Cup with a two-wicket win over Afghanistan. The ambidextrous all-rounder took three for 31 to limit Afghanistan to 201 all out batting first, before notching a half-century in the chase. Australia were made to sweat but eventually snuck home with five balls to spare. Afghanistan, hoping to better their previous best result in this tournament - fourth in 2018, won the toss and elected to bat at the Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua and Barbuda.
Yash Dhull-led Indian Under-19 team will take on Australia U-19 in the all important second semi-final of the ongoing ICC U19 World Cup, with the clash taking place at the Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua and Barbuda. India are unbeaten in the tournament and look in good shape to make it to the summit clash for the fourth consecutive time in this tournament. India has reached the final of the U-19 World Cup 6 times in the last 8 years and it won't be wrong to term this team as favourites for this match, but Australia U-19 are also in tremendous form.
England kept their nerve to become the first team to reach the ICC Under 19 Men's Cricket World Cup final after edging a thriller with Afghanistan by 15 runs. Spinner Rehan Ahmed became the hero for the Young Lions, taking three wickets in the penultimate over at a crucial point when their opponents needed just 18 runs from the last 10 balls. England will now face the winner of the other semi between Australia and India on Saturday in the final - a remarkable turnaround from the previous tournament just two years ago in South Africa when they finished ninth.
India Under-19 skipper Yash Dhull has said the team will focus on building partnership if the side loses quick wickets in the match against Australia in the U-19 World Cup semi-final on Wednesday. In the match against Bangladesh, India bowled first and dismissed the Tigers for 111 at the Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua and Barbuda before their batters chased down the modest target for the loss of five wickets. However, during the chase, India lost quick wickets before getting over the line in the quarter-final.
