U-19 World Cup: Reliving Team India's unbeaten journey to final
Team India pulled off a thrilling two-wicket victory over South Africa to reach the U-19 World Cup final for a fifth consecutive time
India were staring at the prospect of flying back home after losing four wickets for 32 runs in their chase of 245, before Sachin Dhas and Uday Saharan came to their rescue with a 171-run stand
Ahead of what will be India’s ninth appearance in the final of the U-19 World Cup, we take a look at their journey so far
India began their campaign with an 84-run victory over Bangladesh, the team that had defeated them recently in the semi-finals of the Youth Asia Cup
India would then breeze through the group stage with victories over Ireland and United States by identical 201-run margins
India were just as ruthless in the Super Sixes, thrashing 1998 runners-up New Zealand by 214 runs and Nepal by 132 runs to storm into the semi-finals, where they would end up facing their toughest test yet
The defending champions face either Australia or Pakistan in the final, with the two sides set to lock horns in the second semi-final on Thursday, 8 February
