DUNEDIN, New Zealand, Wednesday (Reuters) Australia beat the West Indies by 42 runs in a clash of two previously high-scoring teams at the ICC under-19 World Cup on Wednesday.

Both teams had made more than 400 in their opening matches against Kenya and Scotland respectively, but this group D match was a low-scoring affair.

The West Indies put Australia into bat and they scored 200, with George Bailey Australia's top scorer with just 39 and Ryan Nurse taking five for 28.

But Australia had no trouble in defending their modest total, bundling the West Indies out for 158 with some fine bowling by Xavier Doherty (3-28) and Beau Casson (3-48).

South Africa and India met in Auckland, with India running out easy winners by 71 runs. Their win was mainly thanks to an unbeaten innings of 105 by Chandan Madaan, who helped rescued his side from 59 for four at one stage.

In other matches Namibia -- winners over Sri Lanka on Tuesday -- lost by six wickets to New Zealand, while England took just 28 overs to beat Papua New Guinea's respectable 222.

Group A: India beat South Africa by 71 runs. India 227-8 (Chandan Madaan 105no). South Africa 156 in 42.3 overs.

Group B: New Zealand beat Namibia by six wickets. Namibia 201-5 (Burton van Rooi 62, Hugo Ludik 49no), New Zealand 203-4 in 36.5 overs (Neil Broom 85, Ross Taylor 58no).

Group C: England beat Papua New Guinea by six wickets. Papua New Guinea 222-6 (F Joseph 92, C Amini 58), England 223-4 in 28 overs (K Ali 73, N Compton 58).

Group D: Australia beat West Indies by 42 runs. Australia 200 in 49.2 overs (Ryan Nurse 5-28, Narsingh Deonarine 3-28), West Indies 158 in 41.5 overs (Xavier Doherty 3-24, Beau Casson 3-48).
