Vaibhav Suryavanshi began the U19 World Cup campaign on a disappointing note after getting dismissed for 2. India were 21/1 when the match was halted due to lightning.
Earlier, India were off to a stunning start in the U19 World Cup in Bulawayo after bowling out USA for 107 in 35.2 overs. The Indian bowlers especially Henil Patel rattled the opposition and never let them gain momentum. Patel provided an early breakthrough to the side and USA lost wickets at regular intervals.
Patel returned with figures of 5/16 in 7 overs. Deepesh Devendran, RS Ambrish, Khilan Patel and Vaibhav Suryavanshi picked up a wicket apiece.
Nitish Sudini was the top-scorer for his side who chipped in with 36 off 52.
“I had a look at the wicket, felt I would get good movement off 4-5m length, that’s what I concentrated on. I like pitches with movement and bounce. The preparations have been good, I was constantly talking to the coaches and their contribution has been excellent. All of them are experienced, they’ve played in WCs before, they share it with us and make sure we’re under no pressure, that allows us to go out there and execute,” Henil said after the innings.
