No further play was possible due to bad weather. As a result, DLS decided the result, and India U19 won the game by a margin of 25 runs.

That’s it from this game, folks! We hope you enjoyed our coverage. Goodbye!

As per the latest information, rain has taken over from lightning. This new update makes the resumption highly unlikely as the light will only get worse with time.

The sky has become clearer now, and it all looks good at the moment. There are very few dark clouds over the stadium.

The play continues to be halted as the clouds have started getting darker. Resumption anytime soon seems highly unlikely. Will it be called off? Well, we will wait for the official word if anything like that happens.

SA U19 148-4 (27.4)

The match has been halted again due to lightning. The weather has caused disruption earlier as well in this contest. India U19 have got a slight edge here with the wicket of Armaan Manack. Jorich Van Schalkwyk is still there, scoring an unbeaten fifty, but he needs good support from the other end as well.

SA U19 148-4 (27.4)

Big breakthrough for India U19! The partnership for the fourth wicket has been broken at 86 runs. Armaan Manack is gone for 46 off 59 balls after getting run out. South Africa U19 are four down and need 153 runs from this point.

SA U19 105-3 (18.4)

This has been an impressive bowling performance from India U19 so far. They have kept South Africa U19 under pressure. Only 17 runs have come off the last four overs. The chasing team needs a good partership to make a comeback in the game.

SA U19 52-2 (7.4)

Deepesh Devendran has cleaned up Muhammed Bulbulia! That was a toe-crushing yorker from Deepesh to completely outplay the batter. It was angling into Bulbulia and found the blockhole. 

SA U19 41-2 (6.2)

Deepesh Devendran has dismissed Adnaan Lagadien! It was a short ball from the India U19 pacer, and Lagadien tried to pull it away on the leg side. He ended up edging it in the air. Khilan Patel ran to his right from square leg and took the catch.
