India 301 for 7 (Musheer 118, Saharan 75, Riley 3-55) beat Ireland 100 (Forkin 27*, Tiwari 4-53, Pandey 3-21) by 201 runs
While both batters would fall towards the end, India were boosted by late cameos from their keeper Aravelly Avanish (22 off 13) and Sachin Dhas (21* off 9), which propelled the total beyond 300. Oliver Riley was the pick of Ireland’s bowlers, finishing with 3 for 55.
Ireland had little going for them in their chase, as Tiwari quickly proceeded to wreck their top and middle order, before left-arm spinner Saumy Pandey caused more damage to the team’s chances. Ireland’s top eight batters managed just three boundaries between them, and six of them fell for single-digit scores, as the team was soon tottering at 45 for 8, essentially killing off the contest. Daniel Forkin, at No.10, was the team’s top scorer with 27 not out, but his late blows only delayed the inevitable, as Ireland fell short by 201 runs at the end. Tiwari grabbed figures of 4 for 53, while Pandey ended with 3 for 21.
Australia Under-19s 296 for 7 (Dixon 89, Weibgen 68, Sunguro 2-48) beat Zimbabwe Under-19s 71 (Patel 36, Bajwa 4-15, Beardman 2-7) by 225 runs
Ronak Patel was the only Zimbabwe batter to pass 15 in the chase. Mahli Beardman and Aidan O’Connor shared four wickets between them to back up Bawja, who claimed 4 for 15.
Zimbabwe then never got going in their chase and eventually slid to their second successive defeat.
