India Under-19s win by 12 runs (D/L method). Great scenes of celebrations by the Indians, players hugging each other. The coach, Dave Whatmore is as excited as the players, wonderful stuff. On the other side we can see the forlorn faces of the South African players but they should not be disappointed they have done well.
South Africa were on the backfoot from the beginning, losing three wickets quickly and then the storm came down and when the match resumed again, South Africa required 116 to win in 25 overs as per D/L method, they still needed to score 99 runs from 98 deliveries. Though India put down a number of chances, they held on to their nerves to pull of a great win. India Under-19s are the World Cup Champions of 2008.
It is raining at the moment. Now for the presentations: Virat Kohli lifts the trophy amid the loud cheering. The Man-of-the-Match is Ajitesh Argal for his good spell of 2 wickets for 7 runs.
Wayne Parnell: "We were looking to win, we bowled well and fielded well but the weather played its part, thank you to everyone, credit to the indian team and congratulations to the indian team."
Virat Kohli: "I feel absolutely wonderful, I am happy and I do not have words, we believed in ourselves and we played as a unit. Marvelous effort by South Africa, a dream final and thank you team South Africa."
