Undefeated hundred of Yashasvi Jaiswal and the brave fifty of the Divyansh Saxena helped India fully decimate Pakistan for 10 wickets in the semifinals and reserve a place in their third consecutive final of the U19 World Cup at Senwes Park, Potchefstroom on Tuesday.
Chasing a modest 173 to win, the two Indian starters started cautiously and saw the early danger of the opposition players. Even though they didn't score at a rapid pace in the first power game, they made sure they didn't miss any gates. However, in the next five overs, the duo has changed gears and added 25 tracks.
Pakistan's pitchers got no raid and India got an easy win. Previously, Indian pitchers had demonstrated Pakistani captain Rohail Nazir's decision to hit after winning the wrong shot, picking up two wickets in the first power game. The Indian bowling couple of Sushant Mishra and Kartik Tyagi annoyed the Pakistani batsmen with their rhythm and rebound and was the choice of the bowling players.
Mishra was the most successful of the lot since he took three wickets while Tyagi also contributed two wickets. Ravi Bishnoi, who turned his legs, was another outstanding actor for the team picking up two portholes in the middle.
