India U-19 team beats SA by 8 wickets to clinch youth ODI series

EAST LONDON: Yashasvi Jaiswal grabbed four wickets before making an unbeaten 89 to star in India Under-19 team’s series-clinching eight wicket win over South Africa in the second Youth ODI at the Buffalo Park here on Saturday.

             Jaiswal, who turned 18 on Saturday and is in India’s U-19 World Cup squad, gave himself a birthday gift by polishing off the South African tail with a four-wicket burst with his spin bowling to bundle out the home side for just 119 from 29.5 overs.

             Akash Singh, AV Ankolekar and Ravi Bishnoi also chipped in with two wickets each.

             For South Africa, who suffered a batting collapse, one-down Jonathan Bird top-scored with a 25 while opener Andrew Louw made 24. Their six batsmen were dismissed for single-digit scores. (AGENCIES)
