India Under-19 bowlers shine to help setup the win against England Under-19 in opening Youth ODI

England Under-19 captain Thomas Rew won the toss and elected to bat first. That decision, however, did not turn out in his favour as the India Under-19 side bowlers produced a disciplined performance.

Off-spinner Kanishk Chauhan was the pick of the bowlers, claiming figures of 3/20 in 10 overs. Pacers Henil Patel and RS Ambrish and leg-spinner Mohamed Enaan took two wickets apiece to bowl England Under-19 out for 174 runs in 42.2 overs.

Rocky Flintoff, the son of former England all-rounder Andrew Flintofff, top scored for the England Under-19 side. He made 56 off 90 balls with three fours and three sixes in his innings.

Opening batter Isaac Mohammed made a quickfire 42 off 28 balls with three four and four sixes. However, none of the other batters could make a substantial score which meant that the bowlers were left with a mediocre total to defend in the second innings.

The second of the five Youth ODIs will take place at Northampton on Monday, June 30.
