Vishwakarma finally succeeded in claiming the prized wicket of Foakes in the 43rd over.
The England U-19s had reached 202 for 5 by this point, and Duckett took them an extra mile with his 65-run partnership with Sam http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bhavaraju-Avinash-c47993 Karn (10-0-60-2), and the team posted a substantial final
