ICC Under-19 World Cup 2018: India vs Papua New Guinea, 5 talking points

ICC U19 Cricket World Cup - India v Papua New Guinea

Prithvi Shaw continues his good form

ICC U19 Cricket World Cup - India v Papua New Guinea

Very few batsmen have the ability to keep their focus intact even against a team that fails to challenge them, but captain Prithvi Shaw failed to fall prey to that, guiding India home with a well-crafted fifty in just 39 balls. 48 of those runs came in boundaries.

His opening partner Manjot Kalra faced just none deliveries in their 48-ball partnership, again reflecting on the dominance portrayed by the colt.

His late punches through covers and square drives were perfectly timed and one even witnessed the famed wrist work he is known for as he kept sending away short deliveries and good length deliveries towards the boundary.

Even the well-thought of deliveries by James Tau were made to look easy and at Mount Maunganui, we saw the class of Shaw once again.
