India lifted the under-19 World Cup for the second time after a 12-run victory over South Africa in Kuala Lumpur. They were bowled out for just 159 after being put in by South African skipper Wayne Parnell, with Tanmay Srivastava's 46 the top score.
But Ajitesh Argal took two wickets as South Africa slumped to 22-4 in reply.
A rain interruption left them with a revised target of 116 from 25 overs, but despite 35 by Reeza Hendricks, they could only manage 103-8.
Ravindra Jadeja and Siddarth Kaul also picked up two wickets each, with Kaul having Parnell caught at square leg for 29 in the final over to seal victory.


India's win rounded off a triumphant day which also saw the senior national team beating Australia in the first match of the best-of-three CB Series final in Sydney.
And it also saw India coach Dav Whatmore complete a notable double, having guided Sri Lanka to victory in the 1996 World Cup.

Hi,

It was an stunning victory over South Africa as Indians were managed to get 150+ in 45 overs but due to d/l the target was revised and 116 from 25 overs . It was the good captincy by khaji

First of all congrats to u19 team india. well i didn't expect the win because when they kept 150+ as a target i thought SA will win the cup. but amazingly indians won the cup. i'm pretty happy for that.

Thats true. It was an amazing win for our young guns. The Indians were restricted to only about 150 by the South Africans and everything was going South African's way.
But the Indians went on a flying start by taking 3 wickets for only 17 runs.
I congratulate them.
