ICC Under 19 World Cup 2020 - India U19 vs Sri Lanka U19

Sri Lanka skipper Nipun Dhananjaya won the toss and invited Priyam Garg’s team to have a crack at the pitch and that’s exactly what the Indians did.

From beginning to end, the Indian youngsters paced the innings so well they almost carried the team over 300. IPL millionaire Yashashvi Jaiswal laid the foundation for a huge score with a glorious half-century while skipper Garg also mustered half-century in the first match.

Indian youngsters Yashasvi Jaiswal, Priyam Garg and Dhruv Jurel were the stars of the batting unit, as bad fielding efforts also helped India to 290+. Sri Lanka U19s granted 17 extras in their bowling effort against the defending champions. 

The Sri Lankan death bowling looked clueless as the Indian U19s stole 98 runs in the last 10 overs from Sri Lanka.

Skipper Nipun Dhananjaya was the sole batsman to reach 50-mark in Sri Lanka’s 207 during the reply innings. The Sri Lanka captain was on his way to the target as he balanced the required run rate. 

Ravindu Rashanstha also played well as he missed a half-century by 1 run.

Ultimately, the Indians were too good for Sri Lanka as the islanders were dismissed for 207 inside 46 overs, to hand India U19s a comfortable victory in their title defense.

Sri Lanka U19s will play their 2nd match in the ICC U19 World Cup against New Zealand on 22nd January at the same venue and that fixture will be vital for Sri Lanka to qualify for the knockout stages.
