India produced a remarkable performance in final to beat South Africa by 12 runs under the Duckworth-Lewis method for their second ICC Under-19 World Cup since 2000 at the Kinrara Oval in Kuala Lumpur.A proud team which cannot be stopped by any even the rain gods are in the mood of celebrating after their emphatic win.

Set a victory target of 160 runs in 50 overs and later revised to 116 in 25 overs due to the two-hour rain stoppage, it has been a challenging moment for the South Africans when the second innings resumed.South Africa had slumped to 17-3 before the first drop of rain fell on the Oval but failed to get started on an aggressive note.Earlier in the day, a maiden from Parnell in the first over spelt a gloomy start for India with the exception of Srivastava as they found the going tough and never really had it in them to get back on track.

Finally it was a beautiful display by young Indian team to defeat SA in the finals and showed that they can handle pressure well and won the series.Dav Whatmore coach of Under 19 team is very happy with the teams performance and very impressed with the talent that is available in India.
