1:42 PM IST Sri Lanka Under-19 needed to apply the squeeze from the very first delivery, and they did that. Their bowlers did not forget to bring their A-game, and put the opposition under pressure with some good bowling. There was a lot of purchase on the deck and their bowlers capitalized on it. The new-ball bowlers were just dealing in dot ball and that automatically helped them to find the early breakthrough. Garuka Sanketh was the one who drew the first blood. Then the wickets kept coming at regular intervals. Mind-blowing strategies came into the picture as well, and every single bowling change from the skipper were inspirational for Sri Lanka Under-19 to get across the line here. They remain unbeaten in their group, which only makes their upcoming contest against Australia Under-19 much more intriguing.
