India thrash Malaysia, make it three consecutive wins
Anand Vasu - 3 July 2000

India had their third breeze of a match when hosts Malaysia put up a totally unsatisfactory performance in the Asian Cricket Council under-15 tournament in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday. On winning the toss India put Malaysia in to bat and skittled them out for 76. Even this total was made possible due mainly to some indisciplined bowling from the Indians, who gave away 33 extras in as many overs.

For the hosts, no one managed to make it to double figures. India used seven bowlers, with all but Subhash Dixit picking up at least one wicket.

When India came out to bat, the result was never in doubt. The margin of victory however could not have been larger. Openers Swapnej Thakur (27) and Ambati Tirupati Rayudu (47) steered India to a comprehensive ten wicket victory in just 8.5 overs.

This makes it three wins out of three for India. However, all these victories have come against sides that are well out of their depth. When India takes on Sri Lanka (on July 4) and Pakistan (July 5), the truth about the strength of the team will be known.
