U19 World Cup 2024: Adarsh, Uday Saharan and bowlers propel India to winning start against Bangladesh
India TV NewsIndian colts made a sensational start to their Under-19 World Cup campaign with a strong 84-run win against Bangladesh at Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein on Saturday, January 20. Sachin Dhas with a quickfire cameo at the end helped lift India's total to 251 before the bowlers were all over the Bangladesh line-up like a rash. Despite a 77-run partnership between Ariful Islam, the player who had an on-field spat with Saharan during India's batting innings and Shihab James, Bangladesh didn't look like chasing the target at any point in the second innings. Earlier, while batting first after losing the toss, India didn't have a great start losing a couple of wickets in the powerplay itself before Adarsh and Saharan helped the defending champions recover.
