Early Collapse Followed by Pangalia‑Ambrish Partnership India slumped to 67/4 in the 15th over before Harvansh Pangalia rescued the innings with 93 off 95 balls, while RS Ambrish added 65 off 79, forging a 137‑run fifth‑wicket stand that propelled India to 301 all out in 50 overs[1]. Kanishk Chouhan contributed 32 off 23 and Khilan Patel hit a rapid 26 off 12, supporting the recovery[1]. JJ Basson claimed 4/54 for South Africa, limiting the total but not preventing the comeback[1].

South Africa’s Chase Stalled Before Rain Interruption South Africa reached 148/4 in 27.4 overs, with Jorich Van Schalkwyk unbeaten on 60 off 72 and Armaan Manack adding 46 runs, after recovering from an early 62/3 setback[1]. Rain halted play, leaving the chase unfinished and prompting the use of the Duckworth‑Lewis‑Stern method[1]. Indian bowlers Deepesh Devendran (2/33) and Khilan Patel (1/14) took key wickets to keep the target within reach[1].

DLS Calculation Awards India 25‑Run Win The Duckworth‑Lewis‑Stern revision set India ahead by 25 runs when the match was called off, granting the visitors their opening Youth ODI victory in the series[1]. The 25‑run margin reflects the adjusted target based on overs lost to weather[1].

Bowling Performances Shaped Match Outcome JJ Basson’s 4/54 was the standout South African effort, restricting India’s total despite the high partnership[1]. India’s Deepesh Devendran and Khilan Patel combined for three wickets, applying pressure during South Africa’s innings[1]. The combined bowling displays were pivotal in the narrow DLS‑determined result[1].
