3:43 PM IST Time for the presentation ceremony...

3:42 PM IST Earlier in the game, after being put into bat, it was a respectful start from the two Indian openers. Adarsh Singh looked to be in great touch but failed to find the gaps, while it was a real struggle for Arshin Kulkarni. After Adarsh fell, Musheer Khan came in and began to build the innings alongside Arshin. As the innings progressed, both batters grew in confidence and found boundaries at will. Having been dropped on 16, Arshin made the USA pay for it with a brilliant ton whereas Musheer got out on 73. Handy contributions from Uday Saharan, Priyanshu Moliya, and Sachin Dhas propelled India to 326. For the USA Under-19, Ateendra Subramanian was their most economical bowler and had two wickets to his name.
