Benoni: Indian youngsters beat five-time champions South Africa to enter the final of the Under-19 World Cup for the ninth time on Tuesday. Indian men win by two wickets after chasing a total of 245 under the calculated South African deliveries.

Indians were made to overcome some jittery moments throughout the chase, but skipper Uday Saharan rose to the occasion with a mature batting performance.

Saharan led from the front with a calm and composed 81 (124 balls), while Sachin Dhas scored 96 to bail India out of being 32/4 in their tricky pursuit of 245, PTI reported.

Skipper Uday Saharan led from the front with a calm and composed 81 (124 balls), while Sachin Dhas scored 96 to bail India out from being 32/4 in their tricky pursuit of 245.

The duo, who had put together a 200-plus stand against Nepal in the previous match, this time stitched a 171-run alliance that came off just 187 deliveries to seize control.

Needing 19 from 19 balls, India lost two wickets -- Aravelly Avanish (10) and Murugan Abhishek (0) in three balls -- but Saharan kept calm in the company of Raj Lambani (13), who sealed their fifth successive final with a boundary.

The pace duo of Kwena Maphaka (3/32) and Tristan Luus (3/37) were the pick of South Africa bowlers.

Earlier opting to bowl, the Saharan-led side restricted South Africa to 244/7.

Wicketkeeper-batter Lhuan-dre Pretorious (76, 102 balls) top-scored for South Africa, opening the batting, while Richard Seletswane made 64 off 100 deliveries in a 72-run stand.

New-ball bowler Raj Limbani (3/60) was the pick of the Indian bowler, while Musheer Khan bagged 2/43. Naman Tiwari and Saumy Pandey took one wicket each.
