Earlier on the day, Pakistan U-19 skipper Rohail Nazir won the toss and opted to bat first against India in the semifinal of the ongoing U-19 World Cup.
Notably, the India U-19s have qualified for the Super League quarter-finals post a ten-wicket win over Japan in Bloemfontein on Tuesday.
ICC has divided the 16 teams participating in the U19 World Cup in four different groups.
Besides the skipper, Dhruv Jurel (65) and Tilak Varma (42) made useful contributions.
Defending champions India are placed in Group A with first-time qualifier Japan, New Zealand and Sri Lanka. The top two teams from each group will qualify for the Super League stage.
Priyam also said that he reached out to Prithvi Shaw for tips on winning the Cup.
Priyam Garg has a first-class double hundred and a List A century to his name. He was a part of the India C team that finished runner-up in Deodhar Trophy.
India are the defending champions of the U-19 World Cup as the Men in Blue won the tournament in 2018 under the leadership of Prithvi Shaw.
The series starts on November 22 and the final match will be played on November 30.
