Same rivals, same result, at juniors too

Just like in ODI World Cup final last year, Aussie U-19 get the better of India in yet another Cup final

Same rivals, same result, at juniors too

Australia hadn't beaten India in their previous 10 meetings at the U-19 level. They hadn't beaten India in two previous U-19 World Cup finals either. Now consign this information to the trash bin.

Because Australia, at the moment, just seem to be outplaying India in marquee finals. The senior Australian team popped the champagne twice last year at India's expense, in the World Test Championship in June and at the World Cup in November. On Sunday, it was the turn of rookie Australian faces to celebrate wildly, after clinching a convincing 79-run victory against five-time winners India to win the 2024 U-19 World Cup at Willowmoore Park in Benoni, South Africa.

Australia secured their fourth U-19 World Cup title as a result, second only to India's overall count. The win was set up by a solid batting performance that lifted them to 253/7-the highest total in the history of U-19 World Cup finals. Their top scorer was Harjas Singh, who contributed a 64-ball 55 at No.4. A Sikh born in Sydney in 2005-five years after his parents migrated from Chandigarh Harjas's effort was unexpected only because he had scored 39 in six games before Sunday.
