Australia, India register massive victories at the Under 19 World Cup 2024

India trounced Ireland in the 15th match of the Under 19 World Cup 2024 on Thursday.

Batting first, India put up a daunting total of 301/7 on the board. They lost both their openers inside 20 overs. However, Musheer Khan and skipper Uday Saharan joined hands to stitch an impressive 156-run stand. Musheer slammed 118 runs off just 106 deliveries while Uday supported him with his well-measured 84-ball 75.

Oliver Riley with three wickets and John McNally with two were the pick of the bowlers for Ireland. What happened in the run chase was a complete disaster for Ireland.

The Irish team lost early wickets and kept losing them at regular intervals as they were bundled out for a paltry total of 100 in just 29.4 overs. The Indian bowlers had a ball as Naman Tiwari (4/53) and Saumy Pandey (3/21) ran through the opposition batters.

The second game of the day saw Australia decimate Zimbabwe in the 16th match of the Under 19 World Cup 2024. Batting first, Australian openers Harry Dixon and Sam Konstas got them off to a solid start with a 91-run partnership. Dixon scored 89 runs while Konstas scored 45.

Further, skipper Hugh Weibgen (68) and Tom Campbell (47*) carried the momentum forward, leading Australia to 296/7. Ryan Simbi, Brendon Sunguro, and Matthew Schonken picked up a couple of wickets apiece for Zimbabwe.

The run-chase turned out to be a nightmare for Zimbabwe as they were skittled out for just 71 runs. Barring Ronak Patel (36) and Brendon (12), none of their batters could get to double figures. Harkirat Bajwa claimed four wickets for Australia while Mahli Beardman and Aidan O Connor chipped in with a couple of scalps each.
