U-19 WC: India beat Bangladesh to open campaign on a high

In a commanding performance, India’s left-arm spinners, Saumy Kumar Pandey and Musheer Khan, stole the spotlight as the defending champions convincingly defeated Bangladesh by 84 runs in their inaugural match of the ICC U-19 World Cup on Saturday. Despite a seemingly modest total of 251 for 7, the two Indian spin maestros effectively curtailed the run-scoring opportunities, dismantling the ‘Tiger Cubs’ for a mere 167 in 45.5 overs.
