India thrashed Pakistan by 203 runs in the second semi-final of ICC Under-19 cricket World Cup at t⛦he Hagley Oval in Christchurch to book a place in the final against Australia on February 3.
Defending ♓their total of 272/9, Ishan Porel struck four time🦋s early in Pakistan innings on to peg back the arch-rivals.
