ICC U19 World Cup 2024 final: India vs Australia

Australia beat India by 79 runs to win their fourth ICC U19 World Cup.

Batting by choice, the Aussies posted a healthy 253 for seven.

Uday Saharan's side floundered in the final step to glory, stumbling to 174 all out

 Aussie bowlers led by the furious Mahli Beardman (3/15) and the crafty off-spinner Raf MacMillan (3/43) did not give the Boys in Blue any breathing space.

This was Australia's fourth U19 title and first since 2010 and, in a way, they also washed away the pain of losing to India in two title matches in 2012 and 2018.

Many view this result as a continuation of Australia's win over India in the senior World Cup last year at Ahmedabad.
