Suryavanshi and Jaiswal’s Explosive Start
Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal provided their team a great start. With a six off the first ball against Bhuvneshwar Kumar, 23-year-old Jaiswal set the tone. The pair put together a 52-run partnership for the first wicket before Bhuvneshwar bowled 14-year-old Suryavanshi. Before missing his half-century by only one run, Jaiswal played a scorching knock of 49 runs off 19 balls, hitting seven fours and three sixes.
Rana and Parag’s Middle-Order Contributions

The Fighting Knock of Jurel
With an outstanding 47 runs, including three fours and three sixes, Dhruv Jurel, in addition to Jaiswal, showed tenacity. Regretfully, he was dismissed before the game was over since he was unable to lead his team to victory.
Lower-Level Conflicts
The score was 12 runs for Shubham Dubey and a duck for Jofra Archer. Wanindu Hasaranga only managed one run before being run out. With one and two runs, respectively, Tushar Deshpande and Fazalhaq Farooqui were still undefeated.
