U-19 WC: India juniors eye improved batting performance against Ireland

Yash Dhull

In-form batter and captain Yash Dhull will be expecting a much improved batting effort from his team when record four-time champions India take on Ireland in their second Group B match of the ICC U-19 World Cup here on Wednesday.


Having started their campaign with a 45-run win over South Africa, the Indians are brimming with confidence and are expected to steamroll Ireland at the Brian Lara Stadium. Both India and Ireland registered wins in their openers. While India beat South Africa, Ireland defeated Uganda by 39 runs.


Dhull single-handedly anchored the Indian innings against the junior Proteas despite losing openers, Harnoor Singh and Angkrish Raghuvanshi early after being put into bat.
Dhull added vital 71 runs with Shaikh Rasheed (31) for the third wicket to resurrect the Indian innings first and then stitched valuable stands with Nishant Sidhu (27), Raj Bawa (13) and Kushal Tambe (35) to give his bowlers a decent target to defend.


But come Wednesday, Dhull would be looking for more support from his openers to ease the pressure on the middle and lower-order going into the knockout stages of the tournament.
