'Could Have Restricted Australia To 220-230', Says Hrishikesh Kanitkar After U19 WC Final Loss
U19 World Cup: India head coach Hrishikesh Kanitkar admitted that his team could have restricted Australia to around 220-230 in the Men’s U19 World Cup final, which they lost by 79 runs. He added that despite finishing runners-up, the future is indeed bright for Indian cricket via the scintillating performances from the youngsters.
Both India and Australia were unbeaten throughout the competition ahead of the title clash on Sunday. Australia posted 253/8 in their 50 overs, thanks to a half-century from Harjas Singh and other notable contributors being Harry Dixon, captain Hugh Weibgen, and Oliver Peake.
In reply, India, the defending champions, suffered an early collapse to be left in trouble at 68/4 in the 20th over. Left-handed opener Adarsh Singh (47) and lower-order batting all-rounder Murugan Abhishek (42) put up some resistance, but it wasn’t enough as India were bowled out for 174 in 43.5 overs.
