A report in Deccan Herald says that Indian colts bounced back from Sunday's loss to the West Indies with a 68-run victory over Zimbabwe, despite a century by all-rounder Malcolm Lake, in the ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup 2012 played in Townsville, Australia .
Lake clubbed 10 fours and five sixes in a 107-ball knock but his side was still dismissed for 198 after being set a 262-run target by India.
Meanwhile a report in The Hindustan Times says that Paceman Kamal Passi wreaked havoc with a superb six-wicket haul as India thrashed Zimbabwe by 63 runs to bring their campaign back on track in the Under-19 Cricket World Cup.
Punjab pacer Passi was on fire in the match and ripped apart the Zimbabwe batting order by taking the top five wickets as the African side was reduced to 117 for five in the 32nd over while chasing 262 before being shot out for 198 in 44.1 overs at Tony Ireland Stadium.
Passi dismissed the first four Zimbabwe batsmen during a six-over spell and returned to take two important wickets during the final 10 overs to end with figures of 6/23 from his 8.1 overs.
Passi, who also had made a valuable contribution with his five-ball 24 in India's innings, ended the Zimbabwe run chase by claiming the wicket of Kyle Bowie.
Earlier, India piled on 261 runs for six after being put to bat with captain Unmukt Chand top-scoring with a strokeful 78.
