India vs South Africa U19 World Cup Live Updates

It was a stunning comeback from the Boys in Blue at Benoni as they were four down for 32 but the duo of Sachin Dhas and Uday Saharan had other ideas. The duo first took their time to settle down and rotated strikes to never allow the scoreboard pressure to get the better of them. They accessed the conditions well and weathered the storm after the new ball pacers'duo of Kwena Maphaka and Tristan Luus finished their elongated first spells.Their presence in the middle and attack punishment of those loose deliveries kept pushing the opposition bowlers on the back foot. Dhas was dismissed for 96 off 95 deliveries and missed a well-deserved century. Skipper Saharan too was brilliant and became the leading run-scorer in the competition and was adjudged the player of the match for his gritty 81.
