India started their International Cricket Council (ICC) Under-19 World Cup campaign in style by thrashing Australia in the opener by 100 runs on Sunday.

The Australian batsmen were not able to handle the pace attack of India bowlers, especially Kamlesh Nagarkoti and Shivam Mavi. The duo touched speeds of 140+ kmph during their spell.

Nagarkoti along with Mavi rattled Aussies batting line up and tormented Edwards and Max Bryant early into their innings.

Earlier, Rahul Dravid’s boys led by skipper Prithvi Shaw (94 runs) scored 328 runs for seven wickets while batting first. Shaw shared a 180-run stand with the Indian opener Manjot Kalra (86).
