7 times Australia defeated India in a marquee event since 2015

2024 U-19 World Cup

In what is the latest episode of the Aussies humbling India in a marquee event, their U-19 side stunned India in the U19 World Cup final yesterday. Despite their dominant run, India fell short, succumbing to a 79-run defeat in Benoni. Chasing a target of 254, India’s chase faltered early, their batting unable to handle the potent Aussie pace attack. Adarsh Singh’s 47 and Murugan Abhishek’s 42 offered brief hope, but wickets tumbled regularly, and India were dismissed for 174. Australia’s victory, their fourth U19 title, was built on a strong batting display, with Harjas Singh’s 55 leading the charge. Their bowlers then took control, dismantling India’s batting order. While it was a heartbreak for India, the tournament showcased their talent, and this young team promises exciting things to come.
