U19 Men's World Cup: Musheer Khan's 131, Pandey's 4-19 Help India Thrash New Zealand By 214 Runs
Cricket World Cup: Top-order batter Musheer Khan scored his second century of the competition and left-arm spinner Saumy Pandey claimed 4-19 as former champions India thrashed New Zealand by 214 runs in their opening match of the Super Six stage of the U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2024 being played in South Africa on Tuesday.
Musheer, who had scored 118 against Ireland in the group stage and followed it up with 73 against the USA in India's next match, came into bat after India had lost an early wicket and then hammered 13 boundaries and three sixes to compile a 126-ball 131 as India posted 295/8 in 50 overs following a late fightback by New Zealand U19.
New Zealand's chase was derailed by spinner Saumy Pandey as they were bowled out for 81 in 28.1 overs as only three Kiwi batters managed to reach double figures, giving India U19 a big win and improving their chances of reaching the semifinals.
