Shoddy batting by top-order saw Unmukt Chand-led India U-19 side lose their opening World Cup match against the West Indies by four wickets in Queensland, Australia today. On a slow track at the Tony Ireland stadium, the Indian colts could never get going as they were restricted to a paltry 166 for eight in their stipulated 50 overs.Despite early hiccups, the West Indies team slowly butsurely reached the target with 17 balls to spare. It was India's poor performance with the bat that led to this defeat.
