U-19 World Cup: India thrash Pakistan by 203 runs to storm into final

After setting a target of 273 runs, India restricted Pakistan to just 69 to book a place in the title clash of the U-19 World Cup.

Ishan Porel was the main highlight with the ball and claimed four wickets to knock the steam out of Pakistan's batting lineup. The medium-pacer removed both openers inside six overs before returning to claim two more wickets. Fellow bowlers Shiva Singh and Riyan Parag claimed two wickets each.

Earlier in the day, Shubman Gill stood out amongst the Indian batters and scored 102 runs in 94 balls, taking the team's score to well past 250.

Both openers - skipper Prithvi Shaw and Manjot Kalra - had provided a solid start after the men in blue won the toss and elected to bat first.

Both had shared a partnership of 89 runs before the skipper was run out for 41.

Following the skipper`s dismissal, Kalra also departed and India was 94/2. After a brief stability, the men in blue again suffered a mini-collapse in the middle overs, when Harvik Desai, Riyan Parag and Abhishek Sharma departed in quick succession, leaving the team tottering at 166/5. However, Gill, along with lower-order batsmen, brought the team back on track and India finally summed up the inning at 272/9.

India has so far been unbeaten in the tournament, while Pakistan`s only defeat came in their opening match against Afghanistan.

New Delhi, Jan 31: Slamming the BJP over the Jamia firing incident, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Friday said such incidents were possible with the ruling party's leaders inciting people to shoot, and asked Prime minister Narendra Modi to answer whether he stands with violence or non-violence.   

Her attack on the government comes a day after tensions in the Jamia area spiralled on Thursday after a man fired a pistol at a group of anti-CAA protesters, injuring a student, before walking away while waving the firearm above his head and shouting "Yeh lo aazadi" amid heavy police presence in the area.

"When the BJP government ministers and party leaders incite people to shoot, give provocative speeches, then all this becomes possible. The Prime Minister should answer what kind of a Delhi he wants to build?" Priyanka Gandhi said in a tweet in Hindi.

Does the PM stand with violence or non-violence, she asked.

"Does he stand with development or with anarchy?" the Congress general secretary said.
