Aaron George's 115 helps India chase a record 311 vs Afghanistan to reach final

Aaron George's silken hundred seamlessly merged with the explosive fifties from IPL stars Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Ayush Mhatre guided India to the ICC U19 World Cup final with a seven-wicket win over Afghanistan here on Wednesday.

India now face England in the summit clash in Harare on Friday. It will be India's 10th final in the U19 showpiece, a testimony to BCCI's structured junior cricket programme that unearths serious talent.

India seemed to have a tough task ahead once Afghanistan piled 310 for four, built around hundreds by Faisal Shinozada (110) and Uzairullah Niazal (101).
