In a display of exceptional batting prowess, Aaron George's elegantly crafted century and the aggressive half-centuries by IPL stars Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Ayush Mhatre propelled India to a significant seven-wicket win over Afghanistan, securing their place in the ICC U19 World Cup final.

Afghanistan's innings, buoyed by centuries from Faisal Shinozada and Uzairullah Niazal, set a challenging target of 310. However, India's batsmen, spearheaded by George, achieved it in 41.1 overs, marking their highest-ever chase in a U19 World Cup match.

Highlighting BCCI's strong junior cricket framework that repeatedly produces top talent, this victory sets up a highly anticipated final against England. The successful chase underscored the strategic resilience and outstanding skill present in India's U19 squad.
