Yash Dhull gets to his hundred. Has led from the front in the SF of the U19 WC. Was Covid positive & missed the two games but has looked in amazing touch ever since he came back. One for the future. Has the temperament to play at the big stage #U19CWC

Shalik Rasheed also played a sumptuous innings of 94 off 108 balls including 8 fours and a maximum. Coming in at No. 3, it was not easy for him at the start of the innings. The team lost two quick wickets but he held one end tightly and didn’t let the opposition take full control of the game.
He played a crucial role in letting India make a strong comeback. In the last ten overs, India made more than 100 runs. His innings let India accelerate significantly in the death overs.
India are in a good position in this game at the moment. The bowlers will be hoping to do the remaining job and help their team reach the Finals.
