Ishan claims five-for as India U19 dominates Australia U19
27 Sep
Summary
- Ishan Om's five-wicket haul put India U19 in command of the first Youth Test.
- Blake Cattle scored a gritty century (102) for Australia U19.
- India U19 finished the day at 8/0 after bowling Australia U19 out for 217.
Ishan Om delivered a stellar five-wicket performance on Sunday, giving India under-19 a significant advantage in the first Youth Test. Australia under-19 was dismissed for 217 despite a resilient 102 from Blake Cattle. Cattle found a solid partner in Zed Hollick, who contributed 59, as they forged a crucial 147-run stand for the fourth wicket.
However, the departure of Cattle and Hollick triggered a collapse, with Australia losing its last six wickets for just 43 runs. Ishan claimed five wickets for 53 runs, with Yashbardhan Chauhan taking two. India's bowlers, including Mohit Ulva who took three early wickets, capitalized on the pressure.
In response, India's openers saw out the day, ending at 8 for no loss. This strong position follows India's recent 3-0 series win in the Youth ODIs, suggesting a carry-over of momentum into the longer format of the game.
