India thrashed Pakistan by 203 runs in the second semi-final of ICC Under-19 cricket Woꦫrld Cup at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch to book a place in the final against Australia on February 3.
Defending their total of 272/9, Ishan Porel struck🐈 four times early in Pakistan innings on to peg back the arch-rivals.
Shiva Singh and Riyan Parag both picked two wickets each while Anukul Roy and Abhishek Sharma bagged a wicket each to finish off Pakistan’s innings for just 69.
