Musheer Khan’s superlative showing in the ongoing ICC U-19 World Cup continued as his second hundred trampled New Zealand by 214 runs in a Super Six encounter in Bloemfontein on January 30.
After India’s top performer Musheer’s 131 backed by opener Adarsh Singh’s 52 powered India to a huge total of 295 for eight, left-arm spinner Saumy Kumar Pandey (four for 19) and pacer Raj Limbani (two for 17) ripped apart New Zealand’s top order to bowl them out for a mere 81 in 28.1 overs.
Limbani struck on the first and the fifth ball of New Zealand innings to ensure momentum remained India’s way throughout.
