Rain interrupts India s chase in ICC U19 World Cup final
Tauranga (New Zealand) Feb 3 (IANS) India s chase of Australia s 216 in the final of the ICC Under 19 World Cup was halted by rain after just four overs at the Bay Oval here on Saturday.
India reached 23/0 with the openers Prithvi Shaw (10 not out off 18 balls; 4X1) and Majot Kalra (9 not out off 7; 6X1) going undivided when the umpires decided to call the covers in.
Earlier Australia were restricted to a meagre 216 after winning the toss and electing to bat.
Jonathan Merlo top-scored for the Australians with a steady 102-ball 76 laced with six boundaries even as the Indian bowlers complemented each other well to bundle out the opposition in 47.2 overs.
