Aus U-19 38-1 (7 ovs) vs Ind U-19 | Scorecard

Spin introduced early as left-arm spinner Saumy Pandey comes into the attack, to bowl the fourth over.

Weibgen clips the first ball on the leg side for a single and Dixon is beaten next ball as Pandey gets the ball to skid on straight and past the outside edge of the left-hander.

Dixon looking to be positive. This time he gets a thick outside edge trying to drive for three runs to thirdman before the pacer bowls a wide down the leg side.

Weibgen keeps strike with a single from the last ball.

Limbani has a confident shout for leg before wicket turned down against Weibgen off the first ball of his second over.

The ball keeps quite low as Weibgen is struck on the pads but the umpire says the impact was outside the line of the stumps with the Australia skipper having a narrow escape.

The pacer bowls short and also gives width as Weibgen smashes it past point for a four.

The two batters collect four singles from Pandey's second over, not taking any risks against the spinner.

Limbani gets the ball to move away as Weibgen is beaten outside the off-stump before he is struck high on the pads as the pacer gets the ball to jag in sharply.

He pushes the third ball into the off-side for a quick single.

Limbani strays down the leg side as Dixon misses the glance but the ball goes fine off his pads for four leg byes.
