Middle-order batters Vedant Trivedi and Rahul Kumar scored half-centuries while young left-arm spinner Khilan Patel grabbed four wickets as India U-19 crushed Australia U-19 by a massive 167 runs to make a clean sweep of the three-match Youth ODI series, here on Friday.
Vedant (86 off 92 balls) and Rahul’s (62 off 84 balls) 99-run partnership for the fourth wicket set the platform for a competitive 280-9.
Australia ‘A’ were in early trouble, losing three wickets with just 39 on the board. With relentless pressure from left-arm pacer Udhav Mohan (3-26) and spinner Khilan Patel (4-26), the home side were bundled out for just 113 runs in 28.3 overs, handing India their biggest win in the three-match series.
They had beaten the hosts by seven wickets and 51 runs in the last two matches.
