Sachin dhas india

ICC U19 Men: Captain Uday Saharan and middle-order batter Sachin Dhas struck half-centuries and shared a 171-run partnership for the fifth wicket as India U19 defeated hosts South Africa U19 by two wickets in a thrilling first semifinal of the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup 2024 here on Tuesday.

The clash between unbeaten India, the defending champion, and hosts South Africa lived up to its billing as India secured a hard-fought victory. Thanks to outstanding batting by Uday Saharan and Sachin Dhas India recovered from a precarious position of 32/4 in the 12th over to reach 248/6 after restricting South Africa to 244/7 in 50 overs thanks to a 3-60 haul by Raj Limbani.

Saharan's team will now have the chance to defend their title in the final on Sunday (February 11). India now await the winner of the second semifinal match between Australia and Pakistan on Thursday to see who they will face in the title clash.
