Saharan, Dhas lead India into ninth final with epic partnership

The biggest fifth-wicket stand in men's Under-19 World Cups rescued India from 32 for 4 in pursuit of 245

India Under-19s 248 for 8 (Dhas 96, Saharan 81, Maphaka 3-32, Luus 3-37) beat South Africa Under-19s 244 for 7 (Pretorius 76, Seletswane 64, Limbani 3-60, Musheer 2-43) by two wickets

India's title defence at the Under-19 World Cup met its sternest challenge from hosts South Africa in a pulsating semifinal clash in Benoni. Then Uday Saharan, the captain, and Sachin Dhas put on a game-changing 171-run stand that set the tone for a come-from-behind victory. India are now into their fifth straight final, where they await the winner of Thursday's semi-final between Pakistan and Australia.

For the first time in the tournament, India decided to chase. And at 32 for 4 in their chase of 245, they were on the rack. South Africa's pace attack brought fire, hostility and plenty of thrills to an engaging opening burst where every ball was an event of its own. It needed Dhas's ice-cool temperament and Saharan's steel to bail India out with a record fifth-wicket stand at men's Under-19 World Cups.
