On 28 January 2024 in the U19 Cricket World Cup, India beat USA by 201 runs in Bloemfontein.
India 326/5 (50 overs) v USA 125/8 (50 overs).
India continued their winning streak at the U19 Men’s CWC on the back of another impressive batting display in Bloemfontein.
Opener Arshin Kulkarni, who had missed out in the first couple of matches, made a brilliant hundred after USA won the toss and keep India in to bat.
USA struck with the wicket of Adarsh Singh soon after the Powerplay, but struggled to wreck the stand between Kulkarni and Musheer Khan, the centurion from the previous game.
Musheer and Kulkarni went at a quick rate and India piled on a century-stand to place USA under pressure. The duo found boundaries with ease in the 155-run partnership that was only broken in the 36th over when Rishi Ramesh dismissed Musheer for 73.
Kulkarni raced to his hundred in the 41st over, taking 110 balls to reach the milestone. Meanwhile, at the other conclude, Uday Saharan stepped up the scoring rate, smashing 35 off 27 balls before slicing a slower ball from Arya Garg to point.
Kulkarni holed out in the next over, but with a few enormous hits in the next few overs, India finished with a strong total of 326/5 in 50 overs.
The bowlers responded to India’s batting effort with two quick wickets. Prannav Chettipalayam was bowled for two by Raj Limbani in the first over and Naman Tiwari cleaned up Bhavya Mehta in the next, to reduce USA to 2 for 2.
Tiwari went on to dismiss skipper Ramesh for eight and USA were reduced to 12/3 with a huge target in front of them. Utkarsha Srivastava and Amogh Arepally showed some battle, but India kept picking up wickets.
Tiwari had Srivastava and Manav Nayak dismissed in back-to-back overs to conclude with four wickets while Saumy Pandey kept things incredibly tight from his pause. The left-arm spinner grabbed a wicket tardy in the game, but the highlight of his spell was that he conceded just 13 runs in 10 overs.
USA finished on 125 and India registered successive wins with a margin of over 200 runs to depart through to the Super Six on a high.
India will now play Novel Zealand and Nepal in the Super Six stage at this very venue, the Mangaung Oval in Bloemfontein, on January 30 and February 2 respectively.
Indian skipper Uday Saharan said he was pleased to see each of India’s top four batters obtain enormous runs in the tournament before the Super Six stage.
“Everyone’s playing apt cricket at the moment. We are in qualified form and getting used to the conditions here (in Bloemfontein). Hopefully, we continue performing well here (where India play their two Super Six games).”

Reforming the Rockefellers: Speaking of Ivy Lee, in 1914 he achieved another PR milestone when the wealthy Rockefeller family hired him to reform their image. A deadly coal strike had put the family under intense public scrutiny, and Lee organized an in-depth campaign to secure positive goodwill. His tactics include government relations, media relations and even public appearances that sent John D. Rockefeller to meet with the miners personally. The campaign pushed PR onto a much larger platform than ever before and helped define the industry’s relationship with corporations. (Source: Journal of Public Relations Research)
