Pakistan succumbed to an embarrassing 10-wicket defeat in the hands of arch-rivals India in the semi-finals of the U-19 World Cup on Tuesday at Potchefstroom. Centurion Yashasvi Jaiswal along with fellow opener Saxena remained unbeaten till the end of the run-chase to get India across the line comfortably. The young Indian side booked their third consecutive final berth in the U-19 World Cup with the win against Pakistan. The young Greens did not have any sort of response to the dominance displayed by the Indian openers and failed to defend the 173-run target. As Pakistan collapsed to a humiliating defeat, fans took to Twitter to troll the side for such an embarrassing defeat to their arch-nemesis.

Four-time champions India produced a superlative allround display as they first dismissed Pakistan for 172 in 43.1 overs and then returned to overhaul the target with consummate ease, scoring 176 for no loss in 35.2 overs. Chasing the target, openers Yashasvi Jaiswal (105) and Divyaansh Saxena (59) displayed great maturity as the duo mixed caution with aggression and didn't allow their rivals any chance to make a comeback in the match. Jaiswal, who currently tops the run-getter list with 306 runs in the tournament, smashed eight fours and four sixes in his 112-ball innings, while Saxena had six boundaries to his name. Earlier, Sushant Mishra (3/28), Kartik Tyagi (2/32) and Ravi Bishnoi (2/46) shared seven wickets among them, while Atharva Ankolekar (1/29) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (1/11) scalped one each to restrict Pakistan to a low score.
