Bloemfontein, February 1
India will be eager to make their semifinals entry a grand affair when they face a struggling Nepal in their final Group 1 Super Six match of the ICC Under-19 World Cup here tomorrow.
The top two sides from the two Super Six groups will progress to the semifinals of the marquee event. Pakistan (+1.06) are close on their heels with six points, but India (+3.32) occupy the top slot because of better net run-rate.
The tournament favourites under Uday Saharan are yet to taste a defeat in the tournament, and Nepal are unlikely to prove a threat of any kind.
India’s dominance is visible in the stats as well. They are on top of Group 1 with an all-win record and six points, while Nepal are yet to notch a victory. Musheer Khan, younger brother of prolific Mumbai batsman Sarfaraz, leads the batting chart with 325 runs, averaging over 81 with two hundreds, and his latest blitz came against New Zealand on Tuesday.
