2018 Under-19 World Cup: India's predicted playing XI against Papua New Guinea
The Indian Under-19 team kickstarted their 2018 World Cup campaign in fine style, defeating Australia by 100 runs in their first match at Tauranga on Sunday.
Led first by the batsmen, the Indians posted 328 for 7 before the bowlers took over to dismiss the Australians for 228 and get the tournament off to a winning start.
The Men in Blue will be seen in action once again on Tuesday when they face minnows Papua New Guinea(PNG) at the same venue.
Here's a possible playing XI for them in that game:
Openers
1. Prithvi Shaw
Prithvi Shaw went to New Zealand with a reputation of being the next big thing as far as Indian batting was concerned.
On Sunday, he once again showed why he was being rated so highly when he stroked his way to 94, thereby laying the platform for a big Indian total.
He would look to do more of the same on Tuesday when he steps out to bat.
2.Manjot Kalra
The left-hander, who reminded those watching a bit of Shikhar Dhawan with a leg-stump guard and free-flowing game on the off-side, complemented Shaw very well at the top of the order to get India off to a perfect start.
He missed out on a century by 14 runs on Sunday and will look to reach the three-figure mark on Tuesday.
