Just two and a half months later, Australia faced India in yet another World Cup final. Australia won the toss and decided to bat in the U-19 World Cup final in Benoni, South Africa on Sunday.
Australia is playing great with the bat. After losing wickets at the beginning of the innings, the Aussies are playing cautiously. They are on the way to big collection to win the title.
When opener Sam Kontas got out without scoring 8 balls after batting, another opener Harry Dixon was on his way to bring the team a big collection in partnership with captain Hugh Webgen.
In the 21st over, Naman Tiwari drove a tempting ball outside off. He touched the ball on the edge of the bat and took the catch in the point region. Fielder Musher Khan did not make a mistake to take it in a loop after getting a great opportunity. As a result, the great pair of 78 runs was broken. The Aussie captain had to return with the regret of not being able to score a half-century. Webgen scored 48 runs off 66 balls.
As of writing this report, Australia’s total is 96 after losing 2 wickets after 22 overs. Dixon is playing on 40 runs, Harjas Singh is unbeaten on 0 runs.
India are the current and four-time champions. On the other hand, Australia has tasted this title three times. India won the title by defeating Australia in 2018. Now it’s time for Australia to take that revenge.
On the other hand, Australia took the World Cup title away from India’s home ground last year. As such, it is a revenge match for India as well.
