2018 Under-19 World Cup: India v Pakistan - Hits and Misses

Hit: Indian opening pair

Shaw and Kalra have been consistent as a pair throughout the tournament

Gill might've been the Man of the Match for India, but the foundation was set by the Indian opening batsmen for the vice-captain to come in at Number 3 and bludgeon the Pakistan attack all across the ground.

Both Prithvi Shaw and Manjot Kalra added valuable 40-plus scores to the Indian total. Their strong performance upfront meant that Pakistan could not get a wicket in the first powerplay of the game, thereby swinging the momentum in India's favour.

They put up 89 for the first wicket before Shaw had to walk back to the pavilion for a well-made 41, courtesy an unnecessary run-out. The Indian skipper batted at a strike rate of 97.62 in the knock, which included three boundaries and one massive six over wide long-on.

Kalra missed out on a well-deserved fifty when he was dismissed for 47 by Muhammad Musa in the 18th over of the innings.
