Following an eight-wicket defeat, the India U-19 national cricket team aims to bounce back when they clash with Sri Lanka U-19 in the ODI series decider on Thursday, July 8. The Boys in Blue were dominant in the first game, but a poor bowling performance led to a defeat in the second. Batting first, India posted 285, losing all wickets in 47.2 overs. Anvay Dravid was their top-scorer with 87 runs, while Arjun Rajput scored 76. In the second innings, Dimantha Mahavithana stole the show, registering an unbeaten 155, which paved the way for a comfortable victory for the hosts.
Sri Lankan captain Vimath Dinsara and Senuja Wekunagoda also made crucial contributions, adding 56 and 60 runs respectively to the board. As the series remains level, both teams will be determined to showcase their A-game in the third ODI, slated to take place at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium in Hambantota.
