Commentary

Right so, that brings the curtains on our coverage of this U-19 Asia Cup encounter between India and Nepal. For now, it will be Soumarya Dutta, signing off on behalf of Bidipto Datta. See you soon.

Uday Saharan, India U-19 Captain - We managed to execute our plans perfectly and we're really happy about that. Raj was absolutely briliant and it's hard to describe such a spell in words. We were trying to follow the advice given by the coaches. It's great that all our 15 players are at the same level and it's good to see them expressing themselves.

Dev Khanal (Nepal Under 19s captain): Not to worry about too much I feel, it was just a one off thing. The more we think about this the more we will overlook the hard work we put in. The Under-19 World Cup is coming up, so, we will look to bounce back there. India played really well, batter smartly and made their life a lot easier on this pitch. There is plenty to take away from this tournament, we are definitely happy with the preparations leading into the World Cup.

Raj Limbani has been adjudged the Player of the Match! Here is what he has to say.

Raj Limbani: There was a lot of help both in the air and off the pitch in the morning, so, I did not try too many different things and kept it simple. All the 15 members in our squad are good enough, so, even if Naman Tiwari was not there, we were good enough to get the job done. We were told by the management to keep things uncomplicated and I myself wanted to make the most of the conditions.

It is time for the post-match presentation!

India U-19 57/0 in 7.1 overs
Arshin Kulkarni 43*(30)
Adarsh Singh 13*(13)

It's been a memorable year for Nepalese cricket as they have had a lot of special moments on the cricketing field. But the Himalayan nation have been subjected to a brutal reality check against the giants of the game, India. It only took the Indian openers a meagre 7.1 overs to clinch the game.

India came out with an intention to finish things off as early as possible to give themselves a net run rate boost and they did just that. Arshin Kulkarni was aggressive right from the word go. He struggled to find the middle of the blade, initially, but once he had hit his first six, there was no stopping him and he went on to hit another four after that. Akash Singh on the other hand, was happy to play the second fiddle and scored a run a ball 13.

There wasn't much that the Nepal bowlers could do and the trio of Gulshan, Dhami and Akash looked out of sorts against the class and might of the Indian openers. It has been a really tough day for them and has culminated in a humiliating defeat. There must be some soul searching in that dressing room as they look forward to the U-19 world cup that is approaching fast.

India U-19 have won by 10 wickets and it only took them 7.1 overs to achieve the target.

7.1 Aakash Chand to Arshin Kulkarni, SIX RUNS TO WIN IT FOR INDIA! Low full toss outside off-stump. Arshin crouched low, got across to it and used the bottom had to power the swat over the in-field and send it flat to long-on. The fielder there did attempt the catch but it burst through his hands and went over the rope on the full!

Gulshan Jha has taken some tap here and it has been the dynamic right hander, Kulkarni who has gone after him. The man from Solhapur is going hell for leather at the moment and India just need two more runs to win this moment.

6.6 Gulshan Jha to Arshin Kulkarni, WELL WELL WELL! Full around off-stump. Arshin clears the front leg again and looks to smash it over the in-field. All he does is somehow get it over mid-off and picks up only a run as a result of a mix-up while running with his partner!

6.5 Gulshan Jha to Arshin Kulkarni, SIX MORE! Length ball around off-stump. Arshin goes deep in the crease, cleared the front leg and smacked it over wide long-on for a maximum!

6.4 Gulshan Jha to Arshin Kulkarni, slightly short around off-stump. A bit of a heave on the up from the back foot down to wide mid-on, no run.

6.3 Gulshan Jha to Arshin Kulkarni, NOT REQUIRED THAT! TWO RUNS THOUGH. Fuller around off-stump. Arshin tries to loft over cover but ends up slicing it over point for a couple of runs from deep in the crease.

The audacity of the youth!! We're still in the powerplay and Arshin has scooped Nepal's premier bowler over fine leg for a MAXIMUM.

6.2 Gulshan Jha to Arshin Kulkarni, SIX RUNS! WHAT A SHOT! Good length ball on middle-stump. Arshin went down on one knee and lap-scooped it over fine-leg for a maximum!

6.1 Gulshan Jha to Arshin Kulkarni, good length ball on middle-stump. Arshin waited for it to come to him and got inside the line. He then glanced it to the left of short fine for a couple of runs.

Adarsh Singh is oozing with confidence at the moment and has been peppering the off side. He has played a couple of delightful shots so far and is matching Kulkarni, shot for shot.
