Indian team’s superior performance continues in the ongoing U19 World Cup as they crunched the first-timers Japan by ten wickets.
Indian bowlers completely devastated the Japanese batting line-up folding them on just 41 runs. This was also the joint second-lowest score in the history of the Under 19 World Cup.
Kartik Tyagi kicked-off the proceedings after taking two wickets consecutively in the fifth over of Japan’s innings. Then came the leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi who dismantled Japan’s top-and-middle order claiming four wickets. He finished off with outstanding figures of 8-3-5-4.
