Twitter On Fire As India Thrash Pakistan In ICC U19 World Cup To Enter Final

Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed an unbeaten ton as defending champions India stormed into the final of the ICC U19 World Cup by thrashing arch-rivals Pakistan by ten wickets in the semifinal on Tuesday. In a one-sided contest, Priyam Garg & Co. remained on top of the proceedings throughout the game despite losing the toss.

Chasing a modest 172, India crossed the finishing line in the 36th over without breaking a sweat. Openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and Divyansh Saxena starred with the bat, scoring 105 and 59 respectively. Neither of the two looked in any trouble as they performed their task to perfection. Jaiswal finished the game in style by smashing a six that also helped him complete his century.

Earlier in the game, Indian bowlers came up with a fine display to bowl out Pakistan for 172. Rohail Nazir’s decision to bat first after winning the toss turned out to be a poor one as his teammates could not justify it. Only he and opener Haider Ali managed to put up a decent fight by scoring 62 and 56 respectively.

Barring Nazir and Haider, only Mohammad Haris (21) managed to score in double digits. Pakistan were off to a shaky start with their star man Mohammad Huraira departing for just 4. Fahad Munir was next to depart for a 16-ball duck before Haider and Nazir shared 62 runs for the third wicket.

The stand was the biggest one for Pakistan as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. The next highest stand was of 28 runs between Haris and Nazir. Once Haris departed to leave his side five down for 146, the floodgates opened and Pakistan were eventually all out for 172 in the 44th over.

For India, Sushant Mishra picked up three wickets while Kartik Tyagi and Bishnoi picked up two wickets each.

Can't really blame the young lads of Pakistan U19 for such a shameless defeat. Kids only follow the legacy and standards set by their legendary seniors. ??? #INDvsPAK #INDvPAK #PAKvIND

From living in a tent and selling paani puri to playing as an opener for India Under 19 and leading the team’s charge into the final of the World Cup, Yashwasvi Jaiswal is turning out to be remarkable story of young talent finding its way to the top in India despite handicaps

The Pakistan under 19 team missed a trick by not picking Shahid Afridi in the Squad ??‍♂️#INDvsPAK

Devastated to know the young, talented and emerging youth cricketer Shahid Afridi was denied opportunity to represent Pakistan U19 yet again. How long will this injustice continue? ??? #INDvsPAK #INDvPAK #PAKvIND
