Thanks to Dravid Jr’s onslaught, India posted 182 for six after the match, which also witnessed the U-19 debut of Virender Sehwag’s son Aaryavir, was reduced to a 20-overs-per-side contest following rain interruption at the Niranjan Shah Stadium. Earlier, Chauhan top-scored with 54 off 34 balls, while Anvay, son of former India captain Rahul Dravid, blazed away to 38 off just 18 balls, a knock that proved to be the difference in the end. India scored 108 runs in their final 10 overs.
Squad: Anvay Dravid (c & wk), Nitish Arya, Dhruv Krishnan, R Rohith Reddy, Aadharsh SJ, Sujay Korwar, Varun Patel (wk), Aniketh Reddy, P Tejas Reddy, Samarth M Kulkarni, Vaibhav C, Gaurav Venkatesh, Rathan BR, Preetham Raj K, Dhyaan M Hiremath. However, Czosnek’s dismissal in the 19th over ended the visiting side’s hopes of securing a win.
