India Finish at Top After Pant's 18-ball Fifty

Dhaka: India's emphatic victory was set-up by fast bowler Avesh Kumar, who claimed three wickets for 34 runs. Pant's 50 off 18 balls is the fastest recorded half-century in the history of under-19 internationals.

The Rahul Dravid-coached India topped Group D with an all-win record and now faces the second-placed team from Group A - Bangladesh or Namibia - in the Super League quarter-final in Fatullah on 6 February.

Qualifier Nepal, which knocked out defending champion South Africa from the Super League, awaits the winner of Tuesday's clash between Bangladesh and Namibia in the quarter-final in Mirpur on 5 February.

Pakistan and Sri Lanka, which have already qualified for the Super League quarter-finals, face-off in Mirpur on Wednesday to determine the group winner.

Teams, which do not make the Super League, will feature in the eight-nation Plate championships.
