In a dominant display at the ICC Under-19 World Cup, India’s bowling attack, led by the ferocious Henil Patel, dismantled the USA for just 107 runs. Patel’s fiery spell of 5 wickets turned the match into a one-sided affair, setting up India for a comfortable chase.
The young Indian lions roared into action on a pitch offering early assistance to pacers. Patel, with his raw pace and swing, struck in his very first over, sending back opener Noah Kansana for a duck. The USA batsmen struggled against the moving ball, losing half their side for under 50 runs.
Captain Utkarsh Juneja played a lone hand with 44, but Patel returned to claim his fifth scalp, wrapping up the innings in the 35th over. India’s fielding was sharp, with crucial catches and run-outs piling pressure on the opponents.
This clinical performance sends a strong message to India’s tournament rivals. With the top order primed and bowling in top form, the defending champions look unstoppable. Fans are already buzzing about their quarterfinal prospects.
