ENG U-19 vs IND U-19: Suryavanshi heroics help India U19 clinch Youth ODI series victory against England U19
Vaibhav Suryavanshi's heroics helped the Indian Under-19 team beat England Under-19 by 55 runs in the fourth Men's Youth ODI, which took place in Worcester on Saturday. Suryavanshi's record-breaking century, Vihaan Malhotra's hundred and Naman Pushpak's three-wicket haul helped India secure an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series. The 14-year-old, IPL sensation smashed the record for the fastest hundred in Men's Youth ODIs and combined with Vihaan, who also scored a three-digit score, to power India to a mammoth total of 363 for nine. Jack Home was England's only silver lining with the ball, finishing with figures of four for 63 in eight overs. Openers BJ Dawkins and Joseph Moores stitched a strong opening partnership and scored fifties each. But Pushpak put an end to the latter's innings, before trapping Ben Mayes leg before on the very next delivery. Rocky Flintoff, son of former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff, notched up a fighting hundred to keep the hosts' hopes alive. However, his efforts went in vain as India went on to pick up frequent wickets to bundle England out for 308.
