Under 19 World Cup: Confident India eyes maintaining winning streak
[ad_1]
After registering three consecutive wins, the defending champion Indian team, full of confidence, will face New Zealand in the Super Six stage match of the Under-19 World Cup on Tuesday and will be eyeing to maintain the winning streak. The good thing for the Indian team, which reached the Super Six after topping Group A, is that it has to play the next match on the same ground where it has won all three matches.
Whereas the New Zealand team has come from East London and will have to adapt to the conditions. India has defeated Bangladesh, Ireland and America. There was trouble in the first match against Bangladesh but India registered spectacular victories in the remaining two matches. For India, on every occasion one or two batsmen have taken responsibility and scored runs. Number three batsman Musheer Khan has consistently played good innings. Sarfaraz Khan’s younger brother Musheer is third in the list of highest run scorers with one century and one half-century. Adarsh Singh could not convert the good starts into big innings and now his aim will be to make a big score. Opener Arshin Kulkarni’s confidence might have increased after his century.
Captain Uday Saharan has also played good innings and he would like to continue it. In bowling, left arm fast bowler Naman Tiwari has performed well. He took four wickets in the last two matches. Left arm spinner Somi Pandey has taken eight wickets so far. New Zealand finished second in Group D after two wins from three matches but their batsmen appeared to be struggling. Chasing the target of 91 runs against Afghanistan, they won by one wicket while Pakistan defeated them by 10 wickets. New Zealand batsmen will also have to make big scores in front of Indian batsmen. Both teams will also have an eye on the net run rate.
