U19 World Cup: VVS Laxman praised Team India’s character and maturity in their match against Ireland.

“The U-19 team demonstrated exceptional character and maturity. With only 11 players available for today’s game, their ability to go out and express themselves in such a way was incredible. I can’t express how proud I am of them! They will remember the Ireland game for the rest of their lives “Laxman took to Twitter.

The four-time champions made 307 for five from 50 overs on their way to a 174-run victory that puts them atop Group B.

Harnoor Singh set the tone for his team, having returned to form after scoring just one run in Saturday’s win over South Africa.

He made 88 this time before being lbw by Matthew Humphreys. However, by that point, India had already surpassed 200 points, thanks in part to Angkrish Raghuvanshi’s 79.

They then set a lofty target of 308 for Tim Tector’s team. Which began the tournament with a 39-run victory over Uganda.

The powerplay proved difficult for Ireland to establish a foothold in the game and maintain the required run rate.

And they were stunned when spinner Rajvardhan Hangargekar struck in only the third over to send Jack Dickson back to the pavilion.

Any hopes of a comeback were dashed when wicketkeeper Dinesh Bana caught Joshua Cox’s thick edge. On the second attempt as he headed back to the pavilion for 28.

Ireland were eventually bowled out for 133. With Aneeshwar Gautam leading the attack with figures of two for 11 at an economy of 2.75.

India will play Uganda next, where a win would give them first place in Group B. While Ireland will play South Africa.
