India U19 vs Australia U19 Match Cricket Score: Jayden Draper smashed a century off just 65 balls but could not prevent Australia U19 losing the second Youth ODI to India U19 by 51 runs at Brisbane’s Ian Healy Oval on Wednesday. With Australia chasing 301, Draper had almost singlehandedly kept Australia in the chase despite the side losing six wickets. But with Draper falling for 107, the Australia team’s chase dropped dead.
At one stage early in their innings, Australia lost three wickets, including that of stand-in captain Yash Deshmukh, for just one run, going from 63-1 to 64-4. But then Alex Lee Young and Draper put on a 42-run partnership to rekindle hopes of a comeback. It proved to be a false dawn as Australia again lost two quick wickets with 109 runs on board.

Earlier, India U19 had hobbled their way to a score of 300 before losing all 10 wickets against Australia U19. India’s top scorer of the game was Abhigyan Kundu, who scored his second half century of the Australia tour before getting run out for 71. The team were given a flying start by Vaibhav Suryavanshi (70) and Vihaan Malhotra (70). All of India’s top 5 batters, except captain Ayush Mhatre, got starts, but no one managed to get to the three-figure mark.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi had an unusual start to the game: he scored just 10 runs off the first 29 balls, before finding his range and smashing his way to a quickfire 50 off 54 balls with three boundaries and five sixes. Suryavanshi broke the youth ODI record for most career sixes in the game. He surpassed Unmukt Chand’s record 38 sixes in only 10 innings.
