In the ongoing ICC Under 19 World Cup, South African left-arm quick Kwena Maphaka has made a notable impact with three five-wicket hauls, setting a tournament record. During the #NZvSA match, South Africa reached 475-7 by Tea, marking the most productive session for the team wicket-wise. As the semi-finals approach, the final four teams, including heavyweights India and South Africa, are preparing for the clashes. India's U-19 team, led by captain Uday Saharan, opted to bowl in their semi-final match against South Africa in Benoni, which started at 1:30 PM IST. India, who have been favorites throughout the tournament, are chasing for the first time, with South Africa setting a target of 245 runs after posting 244/7 in the first innings. The chase began dramatically as India's Adarsh Singh was caught behind on the very first ball, and soon after, the tournament's leading run-scorer Musheer Khan was out for just 4 runs, leaving India at 8/2.
