India had a fantastic start to their Super Six at the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup, as they defeated New Zealand by 214 runs at the Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein on Tuesday.
After winning the toss, New Zealand decided to bowl first. India had a slow start as opener Arshin Kulkarni was dismissed early, but Adarsh Singh and Musheer Khan worked together to steady the innings. Musheer scored a century, but after his dismissal, the tailenders failed to make an impact, and India finished with a score of 295/8 in 50 overs.
In response, New Zealand was bowled out for just 81 runs in 28.1 overs, with Saumy Pandey taking four wickets and Raj Limbani and Musheer Khan taking two each.
