However, their chase did not have the best starts and were 59/4, opening the rear gates for Pakistan to make a comeback.

U19 World Cup: Australia ease past Pakistan to reach sixth final after Tom Straker wreaks havoc with ball

<p>The Indian team has booked its place in the final of the ongoing U19 World Cup in South Africa after overcoming early obstacles against the hosts South Africa on Tuesday (Feb 6). Riding on the excellent and reliable pair of captain Uday Saharan and Sachin Dhas, India beat South Africa by two wickets to punch their ticket for the summit clash. The Boys in Blue will now face the winner of Australia and Pakistan who meet in the other semifinal on Wednesday. With the win, India are now on the brink of their sixth title while also reaching the final on a record ninth occasion in the junior division.</p>

<h2><strong>Poor start to chase</strong></h2>

<p>Chasing 245 runs to win, India had a bad start after they lost Adarsh Singh (0) on the first ball of the innings. Matters went from bad to worse in the fourth over as&nbsp;Musheer Khan (4) was dismissed to make India’s situation vulnerable. All-rounder Arshin Kulkarni (12) and Priyanshu Moliya (5) soon followed the already departed pair to make India’s situation vulnerable at 32/4, putting the hosts as the favourite to reach the final.</p>

<p>However, a rescue act from the pair of Saharan and Dhas saw India return back into the contest as they stitched a partnership of 171 runs for the fifth wicket. Dhas was unfortunate to miss out on a back-to-back hundred&nbsp;and was dismissed for 96.</p>

U19 World Cup 2024: Sachin Dhas, Uday Saharan’s valiant knocks help India reach fifth consecutive final

<p>Defending champions India have booked their place in the semifinals of the ongoing U19 World Cup in South Africa after they dismantled Nepal in a one-sided contest in Bloemfontein. Captain Uday Saharan (100) and Sachin Dhas (116) were the heroes of the match for India as they registered an emphatic 132-run win. Riding on the tons from the Indian duo, the Boys in Blue will now await for results of Saturday’s matches to determine their opponent in the semifinal.</p>

<h2><strong>India thrash Nepal</strong></h2>

<p>In the final Super-Six contest, India were at their fluent best with both bat and ball as they secured a comprehensive win. Saumy Pandey scalped three wickets while Arshin Kulkarni ended with figures of 18/2 in his four overs. There were wickets for Raj Limbani and Murugan Abhishek as they helped India restrict Nepal to a mere 165/9&nbsp;total.</p>

<p>Dev Khanal was the top scorer with 26 while Arjun Kumal (26) and Deepak Bohara (22) were the only other batters to make an impact on the scoreboard.&nbsp;</p>

Gulsan Jha was the architect-in-chief of the Indian downfall after he had the record champions at 62/3 in 14 overs. Adarsh Singh (21), Arshin Kulkarni (21) and Priyanshu Moliya (19) got good starts but did not convert it into big innings.</p>

U19 World Cup: Riding on Uday Saharan, Sachin Dhas's tons India punch semifinal berth after big win over Nepal

<p>India’s U19 side is on the brink of a Super Six place berth after they thrashed Ireland on Thursday (Jan 25) in their second Group A encounter. The contest played at the Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein saw India register a massive 201-run win after they bowled out Ireland for 100. The win also sees India sit top of Group A and are all but in the Super Six considering their superior Net Run Rate (NRR). Musheer Khan was the star of the show with a knock of 118 runs while skipper Uday Saharan scored his second fifty of the tournament.</p>
