India U-19 cricket team beat Pakistan U-19 by a huge margin of 203 runs in the semif-finals of U19 World Cup. Pakistan were bowled out for just 69. This is their heaviest defeat in Under-19 cricket.
The star for India while batting first was Shubman Gill. He lifted India to a formidable 272/9 after 166/5 with a magnificent 102*. The rest work was done by Indian bowlers. Ishan Porel finishes with 4/17 and restricted Pakistan to 69 runs. The total of 69 for Pakistan is their lowest ever in the history of the ICC U-19 World Cup.
India will now face Australia in the final on Saturday. Both teams have won the Under 19 World Cup three times each.
Here are the reactions from ex and current Indian senior cricketers:
