The 2nd and last Youth Test between hosts Sri Lanka U19 and India U19 kick-started today at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium, Sooriyawewa, Hambantota.
Both teams fielded XIs with 2 changes each. The home team had to replace 15-year old Dunith Wellalage as he injured himself during the 1st Youth Test. Sonal Dinusha, who scored a half-century in the warm-up game against India U19 was Wellalage’s replacement while right-arm leg spinner Vijayakanth Viyaskanth who took 4 wickets in the warm-up, replaced left-arm spinner Shashika Dulshan.

India U19 scored 384 for the loss of 7 wickets as all their batsmen took their batting knocks throughout…
For India, pace bowler Yatin Mangwani replaced pacer Akash Pandey while spinner Siddharth Desai replaced spinner Harsh Tyagi.
The Indian skipper Anuj Rawat, who won the toss elected to bat first. Centurion in the previous game Atharva Taide started on his merry way while posting 40 steady runs for the 1st wicket with the skipper.
However, Kalhara Senaratne who took a 6-wicket haul in the previous game, broke the partnership by hitting Rawat’s stumps around his legs. Then came in Pavan Shah.
