Weather interruptions force DLS decision
The match was disrupted twice due to lightning, causing long delays and forcing officials to adjust the target under the Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method. India were cruising at 115 for two in 12.5 overs when play was first halted. Although the game briefly resumed, another stoppage eventually led to India being declared winners once they reached 176 for two in 23.3 overs.
India U19 vs South Africa U19 highlights: Bowlers set up the win
Earlier in the day, South Africa U-19 posted a competitive total of 245 in 49.3 overs, largely due to a superb century from Jason Rowles, who scored 114 off 117 balls. For India, the bowling attack was led by Kishan Singh, who claimed impressive figures of 4 for 46, while RS Ambrish chipped in with two wickets.
Middle-order calm completes chase and seals series
After Suryavanshi’s onslaught, India’s middle order ensured there were no hiccups. Vedant Trivedi (31* off 57 balls) and Abhigyan Kundu (48* off 42 balls) steadied the innings and guided the team past the revised target with ease. The win followed India’s 25-run DLS victory in the opening ODI at Willowmoore Park, Benoni, confirming series supremacy with a match to spare.
With confidence soaring and key players in top form, India U-19 will now look to complete a clean sweep, while South Africa U-19 face tough questions ahead of the remaining fixture.
