Sachin, Sehwag Congratulate India’s U-19 Boys for Win vs Pakistan

India set up an Under-19 cricket World Cup final clash against Australia after overpowering Pakistan by 203 runs in a one-sided semi-final in New Zealand on Tuesday, 10 January.

Shubman Gill made an unbeaten 102, his sixth score of 50 or more in youth ODIs, as India made 272-9. Then seamer Ishan Porel took 4-19 as Pakistan was bowled out for 69 in just under 30 overs.

India's win sets up a clash in Saturday's final between the tournament's only three-time champions. Australia won the title in 1988, 2002 and 2010 while India triumphed in 2000, 2008 and 2012.

Veterans Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Suresh Raina among others from the cricket fraternity congratulated the team on their win.

Quality play with great dominance in all departments. Splendid display! Good luck for the finals. #INDvsPAK pic.twitter.com/xdttwr8Y8K
