Vaibhav Suryavanshi was on fire against South Africa U19 after the India U19 captain smashed a 24-ball 68. The aggressive left-handed batter hammered 10 maximums and a four during his quick-fire knock. India were handed a target of 246 with Aaron George and Suryavanshi starting off in a perfect manner.
The two batters put up 67 for the first wicket before George departed for 20 off 19. Suryavanshi continued his strokeplay before getting dismissed by Michael Kruiskamp after getting caught by Daniel Bosman.
Earlier, Kishan Kumar Singh rattled the South African batting unit to bag four wickets. He returned with figures of 4/46 in 8.3 overs. Ambrish scalped a couple while Khilan Patel, Kanishk Chouhan and Deepesh Devendran picked up one wicket apiece. Jason Rowles was the pick of the batters for South Africa as he notched up a hundred. Rowles struck 114 off 113. But he didn’t really get the support from the other end and the side was bundled out for 245.
