with three impressive outright wins in the group stage, India are one of the firm favourites to lift the ICC U-19 World Cup and captain Prithvi Shaw said he needs support from all his players in realising the dream. India opened their Group B campaign with a 100-run victory over a formidable Australian side, a match which was surprisingly one-sided between the two three-time champions, and then completed a clinical 10-wicket victories over Papua New Guinea (PNG) and Zimbabwe.
Shaw and Manjot Kalra opened the innings in the first two matches while they opted for Harvik Desai and Shubman Gill for the final league match against Zimbabwe.
“Our first eleven is still not fixed. It’s a team game and we need the support of all 15 players throughout the tournament,” said Shaw.
India and Bangladesh feature in the last quarterfinal here on January 26.
