India U-19 outplay Australia U-19 in first Youth Test

Brisbane: India U19 stamped their superiority over Australia U19 with an innings and 58 runs win in the first Youth Test here on Thursday.

Having a mountain to climb, Australia U19 resumed their second innings at eight for one but were bowled out for 127 in 49.3 overs.

India needed to bat just once in the game, thanks to hundreds from Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Vedant Trivedi.


Medium pacer Deepesh Devendran, who took five wickets in the first innings, added three more to his match tally. Kishan Kumar, Khilan Patel and Anmoljeet Singh shared the rest of the wickets to fall as Australian batting crumbled against the visitors.

The second and final Youth Test begins in Mackay from October 7.

India had blanked the hosts 3-0 in the preceding Youth ODI series.
