Red-hot India will be the favourite when it takes on host South Africa in the semifinal of the Under-19 World Cup in Benoni on Feb. 6.

Defending champion India has marched into the last-four stage on the back of five consecutive wins in the tournament, with its exciting talent putting up a fine all-round show to ensure its dominance.

With two centuries and a fifty, the 18-year-old Musheer Khan has lit up the tournament as he sits atop the batters’ list with 334 runs in five outings at an average of 83.50.

India skipper Uday Saharan has raked up 304 runs with two fifties and a ton while averaging 61.60.

Sachin Dhas has also given a fine example of himself, hitting a 116 in India’s last Super Six game against Nepal after his side was put in a spot of bother at 62 for three.

Each of India’s opponents have hitherto found it difficult to score runs off India vice-captain and left-arm spinner Saumy Pandey with 16 wickets with three four-fors, placing him third in the list of most successful bowlers in this World Cup.
