Left-arm seamer Ravi Kumar bowled a sensational opening spell as India restricted defending champions Bangladesh for a meagre 111 in 37.1 overs in an ICC U-19 World Cup quarter-final match here on Saturday.
Uttar Pradesh-born Ravi ended with excellent figures of 7-1-14-3 on a difficult track where batting wasn't the easiest of jobs.
Riding on some fine top-order batting, Australia became the third side to enter the Super League semi-finals following a comprehensive 119-run win over Pakistan.
Half-centuries for Teague Wylie and Corey Miller, as well as a 47 from Campbell Kellaway, helped Australia to 276-7 from their 50 overs and that proved far too much for Pakistan in Antigua.
Barring a 50-run partnership for the third wicket, Pakistan were always behind in their chase and eventually crumbled to 157 all out with the wickets shared among the Australian bowlers.
Meanwhile, a patient 93-run knock from Aayan Afzal Khan powered the United Arab Emirates to one of the best results in their cricketing history as they defeated the West Indies by 82 runs in the Plate semi-finals at the Qeen's Park Oval at Port of Spain, Trinidad, on Friday.
Aayan was the last man to fall in a first-innings effort of 224-9, a target that proved far too much for the West Indies, who ended up losing by 82 runs.
Jash Giyanani (3-21) made early inroads, with the West Indies quickly finding themselves 32-4. And unlike the UAE, they had no Aayan to save the day, as Dhruv Parashar (4-30) picked up from where Giyanani had left off.
