  "account": "India's Under-19 team started their Under-19 Asia Cup journey with a resounding 10-wicket victory over Nepal's Under-19 side on Friday. Fast bowler Ishan Sood played a pivotal role, claiming three crucial wickets with the new ball, setting the stage for a comfortable chase by the Indian openers. Aaryavir Sehwag and Lakshya Raichandani put on a steadying partnership, scoring 70 and 53 respectively, as India chased down the target of 129 in just 19.1 overs, leaving a substantial 30.5 overs to spare. Sood's early impact was significant, dismissing opener Prashiddha Jaishi, batter Suryanshu Koirala, and Nischal Kshetri, leaving Nepal struggling at 27/3 in the ninth over. Despite a brief resistance from Darsh Sonal and Aashish Luhar, who put on a 43-run partnership for the fifth wicket, Yashveer Goud's sharp bowling broke their resistance. Sood's impressive figures of 3/18 and Arjun Rajput's three wickets helped India secure a comfortable win. Nepal's highest scorer was Darsh Sonal with 43, followed by Aashish Luhar. The Indian team will next take on Pakistan Under-19 in their second match of the tournament on Sunday.",
