A wicket on the second ball. India have started well. Kian Blignaut replaces Nathaniel Hlabangana.

Who'll share the attack? It is Henil Patel.

Brendon Senzere walks in, replacing Dhruv Patel.

Brendon Senzere departs. Leeroy Chiwaula is the next batter in.

First change. Udhav Mohan to bowl now.

End of first Powerplay! A maximum of 4 fielders can be placed outside the inner circle now till the 40th over.

Change of bat for Kian Blignaut. Looks like the old one is damaged.

Drinks! Zimbabwe Under-19 are in big trouble. Their defensive batting suggests they have given up on chasing the target and are simply trying to survive the full 50 overs against a dominant Indian bowling attack, while India remains in control and looks ready to take the remaining wickets quickly. Let's see how it pans out...

Khilan A. Patel is back on. The required run rate has crossed 11 now. Not sure when the alarm bells will ring for Zimbabwe.

Blignaut goes after a gritty knock. Have India opened the floodgates? Tatenda Chimugoro replaces Blignaut.

Drinks! Zimbabwe Under-19 are showing some aggression now. Leeroy Chiwaula and Tatenda Chimugoro have stitched a partnership of 47 from 37 balls now. The target is way too far, though, but they will look to score as many runs as possible. India Under-19 will keep on hunting for wickets. Let's see how it pans out...

Udhav Mohan gets the big wicket of Leeroy Chiwaula! Michael Blignaut is the new batter.

That's a peach from the skipper! Simbarashe Mudzengerere is the next batter.

Wicket number 7 goes for Zimbabwe Under-19! Takudzwa Makoni walks in to bat now.

Third wicket for the skipper! Panashe Mazai is the next batter.

Zimbabwe Under-19 are down to their last wicket now! Webster Madhidhi is the last batter.

Goodbye for now! India U19 have pulled up stumps on a perfect day, securing a massive win that shoots them straight to the top of the points table. The cricket doesn't stop here, though, as Australia U19 are set to face off against West Indies U19 this Wednesday, January 28th at 7.30 am GMT. We’ll be back at the crease for the toss and build-up then, but for now, it’s goodbye from the commentary box!
