Atharva Ankholekar was bowling the 35th over for India U19. Pakistan U19 were placed at 144 for 4 with captain Rohail Nazir and Mohammad Haris at the crease. Mohammad Haris looked particularly dangerous, having raced to 20 of just 13 deliveries.

The middle-order batsman tried to take advantage of Ankolekar’s bowling. However, he had to make the long walk back to the pavilion. Divyaansh Saxena dived low to take a splendid catch. The ball was inches off the ground after Mohammad Haris tried a lofted sweep of Ankolekar. The Divyaansh Saxena catch triggered a collapse and Pakistan were bowled out for 172. India would fancy their chances of chasing the score down.
