Ind U-19 vs Aus U-19 | Aussie tweakers sizzle as match hangs in the balance
The Hindu
Australia U-19 cricket team shows resilience against India U-19 with impressive bowling performances and solid batting.
The Australian senior cricket team is renowned for its resilience, grit, and tenacity.
The U-19 side emulated these qualities, particularly through its tweakers Thomas Brown (15.4-3-79-3) and Vishwa Ramkumar (18-1-79-4) as India U-19 was bowled out for 296 in its first innings on day two of the first Youth Test at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium here on Tuesday.
India’s Vaibhav Suryavanshi (104, 62b, 14x4, 4x6) teed off from where he left overnight, starting the day with a fierce pull off Vishwa to the deep square-leg fence. The opener got a reprieve in the same over as Thomas dropped a simple catch at fine-leg.
With Vaibhav’s aggressive batting, the visitor needed some inspiration. Christian Howe provided just that. The Aussie’s direct hit from deep mid-wicket removed the centurion, breaking the 133-run opening partnership.
Brown redeemed himself by dismissing Nitya Pandya and K.P. Karthikeya in the 24th over.
Skipper Soham Patwardhan (33) and the other opener Vihaan Malhotra (76, 108b, 13x4, 1x6) steadied the ship with a 52-run fourth-wicket stand before the latter became Vishwa’s first wicket.
Abhigyan Kundu joined Soham, and together they added 57 runs for the fifth wicket before the former holed out in the deep off Vishwa.
