Sudini achieved the milestone with an unbeaten 117-run innings during the tournament. He also scored 36 against India Under-19, 34 against Pakistan Under-19 and 17 against Bangladesh Under-19, emerging as one of the notable performers for the American side.
County officials congratulated Sudini for what they described as a historic achievement in international cricket and thanked him for representing Forsyth County on the international stage.
Born in Atlanta on Feb. 11, 2007, Sudini is a right-handed batter and right-arm medium pace bowler who plays as a batting all-rounder for the United States Under-19 team.
The tournament, held in Zimbabwe and Namibia, was won by India Under-19, while the United States Under-19 team did not advance beyond the group stage despite Sudini’s performances during the competition.
