India wins big despite Vaibhav Suryavanshi flopping with a golden duck

India Under-19 captain and opener Ayush Mhatre started off with three boundaries off his first five balls, before getting cleaned up by Kasey Barton. In a rare occurrence, fellow teenage batting sensation and IPL superstar Vaibhav Suryavanshi was dismissed for a first-ball duck as India Under-19 lost both openers at the time of reaching 13 inside the first two overs.

For Australia Under-19, Kasey Barton also removed Vihaan Malhotra for a run-a-ball 21. However, Vedant Trivedi struck an unbeaten 33* from 35 balls, and formed a 32-run partnership with Rahul Kumar (13* off 14) to take India Under-19 home in just 12.2 overs with seven wickets intact.
