Watch: Zeeshan Ansari bowls a perfect googly in an U-19 World Cup match

India U-19 leg-spinner Zeeshan Ansari produced a classical googly to flummox the New Zealand U-19 all-rounder Dale Phillips when the two sides met in the U-19 World Cup match in Mirpur. The flat delivery down leg side was missed by the right-hander who walked across the crease too much. The leg stump was disturbed in a while it was not great batting against spin, the bowler deserved credit for his accuracy.

India colts eventually stormed into the quarterfinals after producing a clinical all-round performance to defeat the Kiwis by 120 runs in their penultimate group D encounter. Put into bat on a slow track, the three-time champions scored a decent 258 for eight with Sarafaraz Khan continuing his fine form hitting a polished 74. In reply, New Zealand were decimated for 138 in only 31.3 overs with pacer Avesh Khan bowling a deadly opening spell to finish with figures of 4/32 in 10 overs which also earned him the Man of the Match award.

Earlier in the day left-handed opener Rishabh Pant and middle-order batsman Armaan Jaffer contributed 57 and 46 respectively for the Indians. Another significant innings came from all-rounder Mahipal Lomror, who scored a quickfire 42-ball-45. Lomror could have also got the award as he capped his 45 with figures of 5/47 in 7.3 overs to polish off the tail. The ‘Boys in Blue’ virtually wrapped up the match in the first 10 overs of New Zealand’s chase as Avesh reduced them to 16 for four wreaking havoc. India will next play Nepal, who have also qualified for the quarterfinals, on Monday.
