Youth Test Ian Healy Oval: Centuries from Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Vedant Trivedi, backed by a dominant bowling display led by D Deepesh, gave India Under-19s a commanding victory by an innings and 58 runs over Australia Under-19s in the first Youth Test Ian Healy Oval, taking a 1-0 lead in the two-match series.

Australia, batting first, were bowled out for 243. Pace bowler Deepesh Devendran was the wrecker-in-chief with figures of 5-45, while left-arm seamer Kishan Kumar chipped in with three wickets. The lone resistance for the hosts came from No. 3 Steven Hogan, whose 92 off 246 balls was the backbone of their innings.

In reply, India U-19s piled on 428 to secure a decisive 185-run first-innings lead. Suryavanshi provided the early fireworks with an 86-ball 113, smashing nine fours and eight sixes in a breathtaking knock.
