India find new heroes in sensational win over SA in U19 WC semis from 32/4


India pulled off an exciting 3 wicket win over South Africa in the under 19 World cup semis .Chasing a modest 245 , India lost 32/4 before a 171 run stand between Sachin Dhas and Uday Saharan dragged India out of trouble to a nervy win .

 Sachin Dhas pulled the team out of a difficult situation.  Sachin won the gane along with team captain Uday Saharan.  India beat South Africa to reach the U-19 World Cup final.  Even though he missed the century for 4 runs, he explained that he has come to stay in Indian cricket for a long time.  Sachin's scintillating innings of 96 runs eliminated them from the World Cup in South Africa.  Along with 3 wickets with the ball in hand, Raj Limbani hit a valuable six at the end.  The winning run also came with his bat.  Uday played the captain's innings by scoring 81 runs.  India reached the final on the shoulders of these three people.


 Chasing 245 runs, India lost 4 wickets for 32 runs when Sachin came out to bat.  If one more wicket fell, India's loss was almost certain.  Two South African pacers, Tristan Luus and Koena Mafaka, were lighting the fire.  According to them, Adarsh ​​Singh, Arshin Kulkarni, Mushir Khan and Priyanshu Molia have been out one by one.  Uday and Sachin took the innings without fear.  

Sachin looked more aggressive than Uday.  He went on the counterattack.  Keep the run rate normal by playing a few big shots.  Once Luce and Mafana withdrew from the attack, the two batsmen targeted the bowlers.  He continued to score more runs than fours and sixes.  That's why the team's run gradually increased.


 This is the first time in the current World Cup that India bowled at the start.  They started the bowling well.  Steve Stoke, the batsman  did not score many runs.  He got out for 14 runs.  David Tiger was dismissed for no runs.  Luan Dray Pretorius and Richard Seletswane handled South Africa's innings.  The two of them held together and continue to advance the run.

 The South African batsmen could not open their arms in front of the Indian spinners.  Seletswane in particular was playing very slowly.  He needed 40 balls to score 10 runs.  Pretorius tried to open his arms a little after his half-century.  Seen a few big shots in Seletswane too.  But being more aggressive, Pretorius got out after 76 runs.  Seletswane played an innings of 64 runs off 100 balls.

 After 40 overs, it seemed that South Africa would cross 200 runs in Mereket.  But they played aggressive cricket towards the end.  The big shots came especially against the pacers of India.  Olivier Whitehead scored 22 runs.  Captain Juan James scored 24 off 19 balls and Tristan Luus scored 23 off 12 balls.  Raj Limbani took 3 wickets but gave away 60 runs.  Another pacer Naman Tiwari gave 52 runs with 1 wicket.  In the end, South Africa scored 244 runs after losing 7 wickets in 50 overs.  Only once in this World Cup did a team win by chasing more than 240 runs.  India did that for the second time in sensational style .
