All you need to know about the India v/s Australia ICC Under-19 World Cup final match.
India's Boys in Blue will be keen to lift the coveted ICC U-19 World Cup trophy for the fourth time, when they face Australia in the final on Saturday.
If the team, caoched by Rahul Dravid, beat Australia in the final, Prithvi Shaw will join the likes of Mohammad Kaif (2002), Virat Kohli (2008) and Unmukt Chand (2012) to become fourth Indian captain to lift the U-19 World Cup title.
Team India have put in some impressive performance to win all their five matches – including an emphatic 203-run win against arch-rivals Pakistan in the semifinal and a victory against Australia in the group stage.
Australia, on the other hand, lost their tournament opener against India by 100 runs, before winning four games in a row to make it to the final.
However, Jason Sangha-led Australian side’s last two performances signal that they have upped their game when it mattered. Their 31-run victory over England in the quarterfinal, while defending 127-run total, and a six-wicket win over Afghanistan, who surprised everyone with their semifinal appearance, clearly indicate that they are here for a fight
Australia cruised to victory against Afghanistan in the semifinal while India rolled their arch-rivals Pakistan for just 69 in Christchurch on Tuesday after they were held to 9-272 from their 50 overs.
Australia and India - both record three-times winners of the tournament - last met in an under-19s World Cup final in 2012 in Townsville, where India claimed a six-wicket victory.
