<p>India Wednesday won their second warm-up ahead of their Under-19 World Cup, defeating Afghanistan by 52 runs here at Fred Kratzman Oval.<br /><br /></p>.<p>India, who had won a low-scoring match against Sri Lanka Tuesday, should be a little concerned about Afghanistan scoring 219 in 46.2 overs in reply to their 271 for seven in 50 overs. Mumbai’s left-arm spinner Harmeet Singh bowled exceptionally well to claim five wickets for 32 runs.<br /><br />India, however, should be happy that their three mainline batsmen showed good touch in hitting 50s, Tamil Nadu youngster Baba Aparajith top-scoring with 83. Delhi skipper Unmukt Chand (70) and fellow-opener Himachal’s Prashant Chopra (67) gave the side a rousing 126-run start. <br /><br />All-rounders Shabir Noori (4/45 and 62) and skipper Javed Ahmadi (2/42 and 50) did well with their off-spin and then with the bat.<br /><br />India just about managed to beat Sri Lanka by 33 runs at Wynnum-Manly Tuesday.<br /><br />A 98-run fourth-wicket stand between Vijay Zol (43) and Hanuma Vihari (64) enabled India to reach 191/8, recovering from 32 for 3. Hanuma Vihari rescued the team with a well-composed 64.<br /><br />India then shot out Sri Lanka for 158 in the 46th over after Angelo Jayasinghe had threatened to take his side to victory on his own with an unbeaten 64.<br /><br />For India, Punjab paceman Kamal Passi took three for 34. All warm-up matches allow to use the entire 15 members to play, but only 11 can bat and bowl.<br /><br />Brief scores:<br /><br />India 271/7 in 50 overs ( Prashant Chopra 67, Unmukt Chand 70, Baba Aparajith 80, Shabir Noori 4/45, Javed Ahmadi 2/42)<br /><br />Afghanistan 219 in 46.2 overs (Javed Ahmadi 50, Hashmatullah Shaidi 32, Shabir Noori 62, Harmeet Singh 5/32, Vikas Mishra 2/25)<br /><br />India: 191/ 8 in 50 overs (Hanuma Vihari 64, Vijay Zol 43; Chamod Pathirana 2 for 13, Lahiru Madushanka 2 for 28).<br /><br />Sri Lanka: 158 all out in 45.5 overs (Angelo Jayasinghe 64 not out; Kamal Passi 3 for 34).<br /><br />Results of other matches Wednesday:<br /><br />Sri Lanka 188 (45.2 ov) beat Ireland 138 (39.3 overs) by 50 runs.West Indies 328/7 (50 ov) beat Namibia 182 (46.4 overs) by 146 runs.New Zealand 267/8 (50 overs) beat Nepal 248/9 (50 overs) by 19 runs.Australia 315/7 (50 overs) beat Scotland 244 (45.3 overs) by 71 runs.Papua New Guinea 194/6 (50 overs) lost to Pakistan 197/2 (32.3 overs) by eight wickets.</p>
