India dominate a record chase to storm into the U19 World Cup final! Vedant Trivedi drives a good-length delivery to square leg, but it’s Aaron George’s classy 100 and Sooryavanshi’s belligerent powerplay that seal the win. Expected to be a tough 311, India make light work of it, finishing in just 41.1 overs and leaving Afghanistan trailing in their wake. India U19 311/3 in 41.1 overs beat Afghanistan U19 (310/4) by seven wickets in Harare!
Wahidullah Zadran strikes! Aaron George (115) goes for a cut, skies it, and is caught by sub Nazifullah Amiri at backward point. Heartbreak for George after a brilliant World Cup semi century—he leaves to a standing ovation, a knock to remember forever. IND U19 300/3 in 39.3 overs vs AFG (310/4) in Harare
FOUR! Helmet off, bat raised — no big celebration, just quiet satisfaction. The Indian contingent rises to applaud. It’s a length ball on middle, he strides forward and flicks it wide of mid-on, the ball racing away. Pure class. A timely hundred on the big day after a tough tournament till now. India U19 280/2 in 37 overs vs Afghanistan U19 (310/4) in Harare
Nooristani Omarzai removes India captain Ayush Mhatre for 62. It’s a huge leading edge, and Sadat pulls off a stunner — sprinting back from mid-wicket, keeping his eyes on the ball and holding on despite sliding onto the turf.
The delivery was full on the pads, Mhatre went early on the flick and paid the price. Afghanistan have been sloppy in the field for much of the day, but they’ve nailed a blinder here. India U19 208/2 in 27 overs vs Afghanistan U19 (310/4) in Harare
