Paceman Kamal Passi snapped up a six-wicket haul as India thrashed Zimbabwe by 63 runs in the Under-19 World Cup,here on Tuesday. Punjab pacer Passi ran through the Zimbabwe batting order by taking the top five wickets and reduced them to 117 for five in the 32nd over. Zimbabwe were chasing 262 but were bowled out for 198 in 44.1 overs at the Tony Ireland Stadium here.

Zimbabwe’s middle-order batsman Malcolm Lake fought bravely with a century – 118 from just 107 balls – but his effort went in vain.The only substantial partnership for Zimbabwe was worth 87 between Lake and Luke Jongwe (29) for the fifth wicket from 20.2 overs.
