India eyes huge score as England stumbles in U19 World Cup final
As the match reached the half, India found themselves in a strong position at 251/3 in just 25.3 overs. The current run rate of 9.84 suggests that India are on track to post a total past 400, which is a challenging prospect for any team chasing in a high-pressure final.
England’s bowling figures tell a sobering story. alex green Was successful in taking two wickets but gave 49 runs in his 5 overs Farhan Ahmed And Ralphie Albert 12 and 10 runs were scored per over respectively. with Vedant Trivedi Still at the crease and includes a deep batting lineup Abhigyan Kundu And Khilan Patel Yet to come, the foundation laid by Suryavanshi has given India the license to go all-out in the remaining overs.
