Karthikeya, Amaan guide India U19 to 7-wkt win against Australia U-19

Right-handed batter KP Karthikeya hit a sparkling unbeaten 85 while skipper Mohammed Amaan also scored a half-century in India U-19's easy seven-wicket victory over Australia U-19 in the first Youth ODI here on Saturday.

The match was supposed to be legendary Rahul Dravid's elder son Samit's junior India debut but it couldn't be confirmed whether he was dropped due to combination or he is carrying some injury.

Batting first, Australia scored 184 in 49.4 overs with right-arm leg-break bowler Mohamed Enaan taking 4 for 32 in 10 overs.
