India vs Uganda Highlights, U19 World Cup 2022: Bawa, Raghuvanshi, Sindhu star in IND's record win over UGA

Vasu Vats has come into the starting eleven for India. "We would have batted first. All our players are fine but are under isolation," says India skipper Nishant Sindhu.

"We are going to have a bowl first. We wanted to have a good chance to use this wicket. And then try to chase it down. We are trying to improve. We hope for the best," says Uganda skipper Pascal Murungi

Uganda have won the toss and elected to bowl first!

We are just minutes away from the toss! With the quarterfinals berth sealed, India will look to flex muscles and produce some free-flowing cricket today. Talking about the bowling unit, Hangargekar and Ravi Kumar removed the Irish openers in the previous game, which was followed by Kaushal Tambe, Vicky Ostwal and Garv Sangwan picking two wickets each. Ireland had no answers to the Indian bowling display as they managed to post just 133 runs.

Harnoor Singh (88) and Angkrish Raghuvanshi (79) built a solid foundation by adding record 164 runs for the opening wicket against Ireland. The duo will look to deliver a similar performance. Stand-in captain Nishant Sindhu had also chipped in with 34 before Rajvardhan Hangargekar spiced up things towards the end with five sixes.

Vicky Ostwal has been terrific so far! He's picked up six wickets in two games. He will be looking to add a few more to his name today.

Despite being hit by the Covid-19 wave, India are hot favourites to win the contest. We aren't far away from the toss! 

India are hot favourites to win the clash. Uganda, on the other hand, are yet to win a game in the showpiece event. They lost by a massive 121-run margin to South Africa on Tuesday after losing by 39 runs to Ireland in the opening match.

The Indian team would want its best players on the park as it is eyeing a fifth trophy. India passed the South African test in their opener and then registered a thumping 174-run win over Ireland. India barely managed to field a starting eleven against Ireland after the Covid-19 fright but won the contest nevertheless. Nishant Sindhu, who led the side in the absence of Dhull, also looked in good touch.

India have also been hit by Covid-19. Skipper Yash Dhull, vice-captain Shaik Rasheed, Manav Parakh, Aaradhya Yadav and Siddarth Yadav have been ruled out of the contest after their RT-PCR tests returned positive results. Vasu Vats, who was also isolating after showing Covid symptoms, has tested negative and is available for selection.

India is the most successful team having won four titles in 2000, 2008, 2012 and 2018. India have also been runners-up in 2016 and in the previous edition of the tournament held in 2020 in New Zealand. The Indian boys are set to top Group B and are expecting their quarter-final to be played on January 29.

Openers Harnoor Singh and Angriksh Raghuvanshi have shown terrific form and are likely to continue in the same vein. The Indian camp has also found an explosive batter in Rajvardhan Hangargekar, who hammered 39 off 17 deliveries against Ireland and also hit five towering sixes.

Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the ICC 19 World Cup 2022 Group B fixture between India and Uganda at Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad. India are among the favourites to lift the trophy, having won the recent U-19 Asia Cup and registered wins over South Africa & Ireland in their first two matches. India have been hit by Covid-19 and the team would surely want that skipper Yash Dhull and his deputy Shaik Rasheed to return to the side before knockout stages.
