TOSS - India Under-19 have won the toss and has elected to BAT first.

Saumy Kumar Pandey then wreaked havoc on New Zealand's line-up with a four-wicket haul.

Musheer's 131 off 126 balls was the leading light in India's thumping 214-run win over the Kiwis in their first Super Six match.

India's dominance is visible in the stats as well. They are on top of Group 1 with an all-win record and six points, while Nepal are yet to notch up any victory.

The tournament favourites under Uday Saharan are yet to taste defeat in the tournament, and Nepal are unlikely to even stretch this powerful side.

India will be eager to make their semifinal entry a grand affair when they face a struggling Nepal in their final Group 1 Super Six match of the ICC Under-19 World Cup today.
