Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s Blistering 175 Propels India to Record 411 in U-19 World Cup Final
Indian young sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi unleashed absolute carnage at the Harare Sports Club, shattering records to put India in a commanding position in the U-19 World Cup final against England. Suryavanshi’s marathon innings guided Team India to a massive total of 411/9 in their allotted 50 overs.
Early Setback and Suryavanshi’s Counter-Attack
After winning the toss and electing to bat, India faced an early blow. Semi-final centurion and opener Aaron George (9) departed with just 20 runs on the board. However, the dismissal only paved the way for Vaibhav Suryavanshi to take center stage.
Suryavanshi played an innings for the ages, scoring 175 runs off just 80 balls. His "stormy" knock included 15 boundaries and 15 towering sixes, maintained at a staggering strike rate of 218.75. The England bowlers had no answers as he dispatched the ball to all corners of the ground.
Key Partnerships
Suryavanshi found a steady partner in skipper Ayush Mhatre, who scored a solid 53 off 51 balls. Together, they stitched a crucial 142-run partnership for the second wicket in a mere 90 deliveries. Following Mhatre's departure, Suryavanshi added another 89 runs for the third wicket alongside Vedant Trivedi.
Mid-order Contributions and Late Flourish
Even after the set batters departed, the momentum didn't shift. Contributions from the middle and lower order ensured India crossed the 400-run mark:
Vedant Trivedi: 32 runs
Vihaan Malhotra: 30 runs
Abhigyan Kundu (WK): 40 runs off 31 balls
Kanishk Chauhan: 37* runs off 20 balls
India’s aggressive approach saw them plunder over 100 runs in the final 10 overs, leaving the English side deflated.
Tough Day for England Bowlers
It was a forgettable outing for the England bowling attack. While James Minto picked up 3 wickets, he conceded 63 runs. Manny Lumsden proved to be the most expensive, leaking 81 runs in just 8 overs. Sebastian Morgan and Alex Green chipped in with two wickets each, but failed to contain the run flow.
