Kuala Lumpur, Feb 19 Left-arm pacer Pradeep Sangwan dished out a fiery spell to claim five wickets as India coasted to a convincing six-wicket victory over South Africa in their Under-19 cricket World Cup match here today.
After electing to bat, South African batsmen found the going difficult and were bundled out for only 149 runs in 30.1 overs.
In reply, India rode on fine knocks by opener Taruwar Kohli (54) and Tanmay Srivastava (47) to reach the winning target with eight overs to spare.
Sangwan started to unravell South Africa's innings when he trapped Pieter Malan in front off the second ball of the match with the Proteas still to open their account.
In the fifth over, the Delhi pacer castled the opener Jon-Jon Smuts (3) and two overs later, scalped Reeza Hendricks (12), who was caught behind.
Riley Rossouw (4) was caught by Ravinder Jadeja and Yaseen Vallie was cleaned up as Sangwan completed his assualt with South Africa reduced to five for 45 in the 13th over. (Agencies)
