Rampant India crush New Zealand by 7 wickets in U-19 World Cup

Key Highlights

• RS Ambrish (8-1-29-4) and Henil Patel (7.2-1-23-3) led the bowling charge early for India who had asked New Zealand to bat first in damp conditions of the rain-truncated game.
• New Zealand were reduced to 69 for 7 as Indian bowlers continued to strike right from the word go, and eventually bowled the Kiwis out for 135 in 36.2 overs.
• Snehith Reddy (10) was the only New Zealand batter among the top five to score in double digits.
• Even as the lower-order resisted, New Zealand never had enough runs on the board.
• Jacob Cotter (23), Callum Samson (37) and Selwin Sanjay (28) added some valuable late runs for New Zealand but none of them could impose themselves against the Indians, for whom the trio of Khilan Patel, Mohamed Enaan and Kanish Chouhan claimed a wicket each.
